COLCHESTER United took the derby honours tonight with a 1-0 win over Ipswich Town at Layer Road.

A goal by Karl Duguid in the ninth minute was enough to seal the win for the U's, although Town will feel hard done by after a Jon Macken equaliser was controversially ruled out for a foul on the goalkeeper.

A win would have taken Town to second spot in the league, but they now remain level with Colchester on 14 points.
