Colchester United and Ipswich Town are set for a derby showdown in the FA Youth Cup.
The sides will do battle in a quarter-final clash at Layer Road after the Blues made progress last night, beating Aston Villa 3-1.
Colchester had already reached the last eight after a string of victories against the likes of Chelsea, Cardiff and Crewe. And they knew they would entertain the winners of last night's match between Town and Villa at Portman Road.
Liam Craig, Cathal Lordan and Billy Clarke scored the all-important goals in front of a bumper gate of 1,360.
