New signing Dominic Samuel and academy product Monty Patterson scored hat-tricks as Ipswich Town’s under-23s demolished Watford, 8-0, at Portman Road, on Monday.
Kieffer Moore and George Fowler also netted under the watchful eye of Town boss Mick McCarthy.
Fellow new face, winger Danny Rowe, also starred, while defender Tommy Smith completed 90 minutes, following time out with a back injury.
Rowe, who only played for 45 minutes, needed just two minutes to set up Patterson for the opener, before combining with Moore to help Patterson net his second.
Fowler scored the third from a rebound after Moore got on the end of a Rowe corner, before Moore and Patterson, with his hat-trick, got on the scoresheet before the half-time whistle.
Samuel grabbed a 45-minute in the second half, combining with Moore for his first, finishing from close range for his second and scoring a header to complete his hat-trick.
