However, the game wasn’t without its interruptions, as 15 minutes into the second half referee Stuart Attwell halted play to allow ground staff to clear snow from the pitch once again and remark the lines.

It was Roy Keane’s men that ended up on top, scoring three goals in the first half of the game. David Norris netted an early goal in six minutes and Jason Scotland scored a brace before the first half whistle.

With the game finishing 3-0 to Ipswich Town, it put an end to a six game winless run and would go on to give Keane a brief lifeline as manager for Town.
