STOWMARKET Town player-manager David ‘Bart’ Lorimer praised his players after they came-from-behind to win at Ipswich Wanderers in the Endeavour Automotive Suffolk Premier Cup.

Second-half goals from skipper Reece Langridge and Nathaniel Jamba saw the Old Gold & Blacks win 2-1 at the GBS Stadium on Tuesday night to book their place in Friday’s quarter-final draw.

The visitors had trailed 1-0 to Tom Lawson’s well-directed header back across goal from Ben Stannard’s 34th minute right-wing cross.

Centre-back Langridge turned home Ewan Gordon-Clement’s cross from the left after 50 minutes and five minutes later Nathaniel Jamba cut in from the left before finding the bottom right-hand corner.

Langridge was adjudged to have handled in the box on the hour, but Ben Stannard blazed the spot kick over the crossbar and Stowmarket defended stoutly thereafter to preserve their lead.

Lorimer praised the ‘desire and fight’ of his young side and how they have learnt in the past year.

“I am really proud of the boys where we are now because it is a tough place to come here and they are a good side and to win 2-1 after going one-nil down is always good,” he said.
