Adjusting to a new job can
be a trying challenge — unless
you’re Lynnfield Police
Sergeant Jared Provost, who
says the transition from patrolman
to sergeant has been
almost seamless.
“There definitely have
been some adjustments going
from being a patrolman to a
supervisor. I’m still trying to
get used to delegating things
that were delegated to me in
the past,” he said. “In some
aspects there are more responsibilities
and in others,
there are less and there are
some things that are new
to me, but so far, it’s still a
learning experience and it’s
gone pretty well.”
Being a sergeant isn’t the
only new thing in Provost’s
life. In July, he and his wife,
Kerrianne, welcomed a new
baby into their family.
“To be honest, the experience
was more like being in
prison than in a hospital as
we were confined to the room
and couldn’t move anywhere
in the hospital,” said Provost,
who also has a 6-year old
and 4-year old. “The staff
was very accommodating so
we could tell them what we
wanted and they would bring
it to us, but it was tough. We
couldn’t wait to go home,
so much so that we checked
out a day early. Everything’s
great, the baby is doing well
and growing like crazy, so
we are all very happy.”
Police Chief David Breen
said Provost’s skill set is perfect
for his new role.
“We are very happy and
he’s been really good and is
really going to be great for
this position,” Breen said.
“He will be a very good addition
to our command staff.

Pandemic warning comes with price tag
By Anne Marie Tobin
If town residents don’t follow
COVID-19 safeguard rules, they may
have to open their wallets and pay the
price.
Fire Chief and Emergency Management
Director Glenn Davis in a town online
posting asked town residents to be vigilant
in taking important safety measures
to fend off future spikes in the number of
positive cases.
He asked residents to report any violations
of state COVID-19 guidelines
and regulations and CDC guidelines
to the Lynnfield Police Department
(781-334-3132).
“Failure to comply and/or cooperate
with local police may result in a fine of
up to $500 per Massachusetts COVID-19
regulations,” Davis said.
Town Administrator Rob Dolan said
the towns of Newburyport and Winthrop
have already implemented plans to fine
residents who do not comply with state
regulations.
“The state authorizes communities to
fine violators, but that’s just one tool in
the toolbox,” he said. “Those two towns
have decided to get serious with serious
offenders and send a message that there
might be consequences. It certainly
would be the case with those who are
reckless or those who may be out of line
on a regular basis.”
From early September through the
first week of October, Lynnfield hit
“red” or high-risk status twice based on
its COVID-19 case statistics.
Davis said that while the number of
positive cases has decreased, shifting the
town’s risk level from high-risk to moderate-risk
(yellow) as of last Wednesday,
Lynnfield’s numbers are still higher than
the state’s average.
“(Wednesday), the Commonwealth
released its weekly public health report,
and it shows our efforts have had a positive
impact,” Davis said. “Our efforts to
protect our family and friends are having
an impact, but we need to continue the

As of July 1, 2020, Lynnfield’s
two Roman Catholic churches,
Saint Maria Goretti on Chestnut
Street and Our Lady of the
Assumption on Salem Street,
merged to become one parish
with two worship sites.
The name of the new parish
is Ave Maria, but both churches
retain their individual names.
After all Masses at Our Lady
of the Assumption and Saint
Maria Goretti churches on the
weekend of Oct. 17 and 18, the
Lynnfield Knights of Columbus
will be collecting donations to
fund their charitable works in
our community.
Due to COVID-19, they will
not be able to offer Tootsie
Rolls this year, but financial
support is greatly needed.

It’s Cub Scout sign-up time
Lynnfield Cub Scouts Pack
48 is currently recruiting.
Members of our Pack have
been hiking and completing
adventures the last few months
while maintaining social distancing
requirements.
Pack 48 serves both Lynnfield
elementary schools, youth who
attend private school, and homeschoolers.
Each Pack is divided
into Dens. We have a
single Den for each age/grade
level starting at kindergarten
through 5th grade.
Each Den meets monthly in
addition to full Pack events.
Typically, those events include
memorable experiences like the
Museum of Science and Lowell
Spinners camp-outs. Our focus
currently is on outdoor events.
The Pack is part of a larger organization
known as the Spirit
of Adventure Council, which
has measures in place due to

Stop Article 9 misguided zoning
Our concerns in the northern
most ”single family residence
D District” has been and is still
based upon the residents’ water
supply use by private well water
and fire safety.
The northernmost District
is the only part of town which
lacks both piped in water and
fire protection or even hydrants
thus making sense to require
a continued 60,000 squarefoot
requirement for home
construction.
We are requesting support
for an exclusion by change or
amendment to the proposed
Open Space Residential District
(OSRD) Article 9 on the Town
Meeting warrant or outright rejection
of it. The close cluster
construction permitted by
OSRD, on much smaller lot
sizes, would be a major zoning
change, resulting in both unsafe
and possibly unlivable
conditions for the proposed
residents not to mention the
increased withdrawal from the
already strained Ipswich river
watershed and Lynnfield water
supply.
A similar zoning change request
here in northernmost
District “D” one year ago was
wisely rejected by a two-third
majority at Town Meeting. This
no vote was not only based
upon water and fire safety concerns
but the dangerous upper
Main Street winding road contour
and curvature which limit
both driver vision and traffic
enforcement.
Furthermore, the OSRD article
contains, with permission
from the Planning Board,
allowance for two-family
housing, with no limits specified.
Are voters aware of such
an additional zoning change
power to the Planning Board
sponsor? This will further add
to the adverse safety conditions
described making them worse.
Please join your neighbors
here at the upcoming Town
Meeting, Oct 17, in either requesting
an Article 9 change
to exclude all single-residence
“D” references or rejecting
the proposed Planning Board
OSRD Article 9 entirely.
Kenneth and Sara Peterson
Lynnfield
A “yes” vote Articles 8 and 9
There are two consequential
articles on the fall Town
Warrant that deserve support
from Lynnfield residents.
The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts and the
Lynnfield Planning Board have
recognized trees as a significant
factor in maintaining a high
quality of life, and in having
a direct impact on a changing
climate by removing carbon dioxide,
sequestering carbon, and
emitting oxygen back into the
atmosphere.
Our state and town officials
have taken the initiative to develop
long overdue comprehensive
legislation to address environmental
issues at the local
level. On Saturday, Oct. 17 at
Town Meeting, townspeople
can vote to secure a responsible
future for generations, plus
the preservation of our town’s
character.
The proposed tree protection
bylaw (Article 8 on the
Town Meeting warrant) strikes
the right balance between encouraging
property owners to
preserve large trees without
restricting the right to improve
their property.
By replacing lost trees, either
by planting adjacent to ones removed
or contributing to a Tree
Fund for planting at another
convenient location, the bylaw
will establish a method for nurturing
the next generation of
trees.
Trees have long been recognized
to enhance property
value, contribute to the character
of our neighborhoods,
offer natural privacy, and act as
the base to an ecosystem that
limits erosion and stormwater
runoff, provides flood control,
and improves the air we all
breathe. Trees cannot provide
all this without our help.
Article 9 — open space residential
development (OSRD) —
is intended to promote residential
development that preserves
open space and is respectful of
the land’s existing topography
and natural features.
This allows for the preservation,
in perpetuity, of the remaining
land on the parcel as
open space. By concentrating
the building of homes on part of
a proposed site and creating natural
vegetative buffers, abutter
privacy will be enhanced and
on-site natural areas with
unique or fragile habitats will
be preserved and protected.
Economically, the adoption
of an OSRD bylaw would
benefit Lynnfield financially
by reducing infrastructure and
maintenance costs, and maintaining
the local character that
draws many new residents to
our town. It is rare for proposed
legislation to be beneficial to
both environmental and economic
interests. Yet the OSRD
bylaw would accomplish both.
Since its establishment, the
Tree Committee has worked to
provide stewardship, education
and advocacy to promote and
foster an appreciation for our
natural resources.
The Lynnfield Tree
Committee fully supports these
two articles submitted by the
Lynnfield Planning Board, and
encourages you to vote in favor
of these important matters at the
fall Town Meeting on Saturday,
Oct. 17.

There’s a new
SERGEANT
From page 1
sergeant
in town
He understands what I expect of
him. In that position, you have
to make tough decisions otherwise
you will be ineffective. You
have to be fair, but you have to
be tough. I know he is going to
be a great supervisor.”
Provost will act as the daytime
supervisor. His responsibilities
include ensuring operations
are running smoothly and
monitoring all officers to make
sure they are fulfilling their obligations.
He also will go out on
serious calls when necessary,
such as complaints of domestic
violence.
“I’ve been in that position
and no two days are the same,”
Breen said. “You get pulled in
other directions when emergencies
happen. You must be prepared
at all times.”
A 2006 Lynnfield High graduate,
Provost said his experience
as a member of the school’s
Mock Trial team (serving as captain
his senior year), influenced
him to go into law enforcement.
“I always had a passion for
law, my mother (Mary Phaneuf)
is a paralegal in Boston so I’ve
always been curious about the
law,” he said. “I knew I wanted
to do something involving law,
but it was mock trial that steered
me and helped me refine my
area of interest from the practical
side to law enforcement. I
wanted to be on the street and
visible, helping people on a dayto-day
basis.”
Provost earned a Bachelor of
Science degree in criminal justice
at Northeastern University,
graduating magna cum laude
in 2011. As part of the co-op
program, Provost worked three
years at Boston Medical Center
in the Department of Public
Safety.
After graduation, he switched
to full-time, working there until
he made the move to Lynnfield
in September, 2013. Five months
later in February, 2014, Provost
completed graduation requirements
at the Massachusetts
Police Training Committee
Full Time Police Academy in
Reading.
Board of Selectmen Chairman
Chris Barrett said Provost is a
“wonderful addition to leadership
within the Lynnfield Police
Department.”
“I was thrilled when he joined
the force,” said Selectman
Phil Crawford. “I’ve seen him
through the years evolve into
one of our leading officers. He
is much deserving of this ne
position.”
Provost said he was honored
to hear words of high praise.
“Anybody would appreciate
such pillars of the community
who speak well of them, I know
I am, and it’s very satisfying and
I am deeply appreciative,” he
said. “I truly appreciate the opportunities
I’ve been given since
day one here in Lynnfield and
look forward to doing the best
job I can.”

work to stop COVID-19 (and)
keep improving and keep our
guard up.”
In an Oct. 6 COVID Q & A
video with Davis and Dolan,
Davis said the most commonly-asked
questions, in order, are
about gatherings and parties,
masks and testing sites.
“The newest change made
by the governor is that if there
are 10 or more people at a gathering,
all persons in attendance
over the age of five must wear
a mask regardless of separation,”
Davis said. “This applies
indoors and outdoors and to
private residences. Any time
there’s 10 or more people together,
you must wear a face
covering.”
Davis reminded residents that
the closest testing sites are in
Lynn, Salem and Saugus and
A Healthy Lynnfield, a community
partnership working
to promote healthy choices in
Lynnfield, is launching a Youth
Council to utilize teen’s energy,
passion, and ideas as a powerful
prevention resource for the
community.
Youth Council leaders will
plan and implement prevention
strategies through civic engagement,
education, media campaigns,
and volunteerism.
A Healthy Lynnfield’s Youth
Council will help members increase
their connection to the
community, create solid relationships
with positive adult
role models, and ultimately help
build skills for college and career
readiness.

leaders must be current

some are free. He is encouraging
anyone with symptoms or
who may have been exposed to
get tested.

info-details/stop-the-spread’
“As a moderate-risk community,
it remains critically important
for all residents to follow
state regulations and CDC best
practices to allow us to continue
our hybrid school model for our
children, keep playgrounds and
recreation open, support local
business and, perhaps, save a
life,” Davis said.
Dolan agreed that there is a
lot at stake.
“The continuation of our
hybrid model in the schools,
which our children are really
thriving in right now, youth
sports that have done a great
job, access to different functions,
that’s what’s at stake,”
he said. “Because (we had) red
status, we have not been able
to participate in the expanded
freedoms under the governor’s
second phase of Phase 3, which
would really help our local
businesses and allow you and
your family to enjoy the things
that so many other communities
are able to enjoy.”
Dolan said the key point regarding
gatherings is simply to
follow the rules.
“It is not against the law to
have family gatherings and parties,
but it is critical to follow
the governor’s rules. If we
follow these regulations, we
certainly will be advancing forward
for our children and our
lives ourselves.”
Davis advised those who have
any questions about these orders
or state guidelines to please call
the Lynnfield COVID information
helpline at (781) 334-8141.
Wanted: Youth Council members
use prevention work, health and
wellness, youth empowerment
and community engagement,”
said Julie Greene, Drug Free
Community Coordinator for A
Healthy Lynnfield.
She added: “Students must be
open to working with a group
and motivated to learn and
experience new things. They
must also be willing to lead the
work and projects of A Healthy
Lynnfield’s Youth Council at
large with support from adult
facilitators.”
Youth Council leaders will
receive $15 per hour for four
hours a month based on required
minimum attendance. To

make sure that you’re all okay.”
The “Fabulous Babes” group
chat that resulted was flooded
with messages, and soon there
was a weekly Zoom meeting with
wine or cocktails. The “Babes”
discussed their anxieties and challenges,
but they also shared silly
photos and joked and laughed.
“It just really became a lifeline
for all of us,” said Campbell, 47,
of suburban Oak Park.
Chicagoans have reached
out to dear friends across the
country and the world during the
pandemic. And in some cases,
they’ve stayed in close contact
with multiple conversations, texting
sessions or video chats.
In interviews and responses
to Tribune queries on Facebook,
two dozen area residents said they
were spending more time with
close friends who live far away
than they did before the pandemic.
That makes sense to
Washington, D.C., psychologist
and friendship expert Marisa G.
Franco, who said she, herself, is
in more frequent contact with her
best friend in Chicago, in part
because this is a stressful time
and in part due to pandemic-related
flexibility in her schedule.
“Work life is less rigid,”
Franco said.
“We’ve heard a lot about how
the boundaries of our work life
have changed, but in the same
way, I think, the boundaries of
our emotional life have changed.
For friends, that can be useful
because it’s like, ‘Oh, now let’s
chat at 1 o’clock, when I don’t
have a meeting at work.’”
Others point out that
COVID-19 makes proximity
less of a factor in friendship.
“When you can’t be close
to people physically, it opens
up (your options),” said Kryss
Miller, 47, of Oak Park.
“If I’m connecting with
somebody across the street with
Zoom, I can also connect with
my friend in Paris.”
River Forest resident Emily
Paster, a freelance food writer
who grew up in Washington,
D.C., touched on a common
theme when she talked about
connecting with close high
school friends on Zoom.
One of her former classmates
is living in Rome, she said.
Others are in New York and
Washington, D.C. But their 30-
year bond remains strong.
“When we get together,
it’s just the easiest thing in
the world, without any of the
awkwardness or superficiality
of some of our adult relationships,”
said Paster, 46.
“It’s so different — it’s such
an authentic, honest connection
— because we knew each other
growing up. We’ve been in
each other’s childhood homes,
we knew each other’s parents.
When my dad passed away in
2011, my friends in River Forest
were lovely and supportive, but
it was nothing like hearing from
my friends from high school
who knew my dad.”
In one of the more innovative
twists on the trend, Melanie
Pivarski, of Oak Park, is taking a
Zoom ballet class with an old college
friend who lives in England.
Nicole McCabe, of
Naperville, is now in daily contact
with a close high school
friend in South Carolina via the
Marco Polo video app.
“Those old friendships —
there’s such a comfort and an
ease. They know you in such
a deep way,” said McCabe, 41,
who works for an educational
nonprofit.
Aurora resident Neeta Pal,
who grew up in India, attended
a Zoom meetup with a dozen
friends from college who are
living in India, Australia, New
Zealand, Canada, the U.S.,
Dubai and Singapore.
The women, some of whom
hadn’t seen each other in 20
years, recalled college crushes
and hijinks, including sneaking
out of the dorms after the 7:30
p.m. curfew for tea or dinner
with friends.
“It was like no time had
elapsed,” said Pal, 42, a mechanical
engineer. “It felt really,
really good.”
Early in the pandemic, Oak
Park resident Becky Fuller sent a
meme to her next door neighbor
and close friend Danielle
Campbell: “Check in on your
extroverts. They are not okay.”
Campbell, the extrovert in question,
said the message hit home.
Campbell started a WhatsApp
chat for both women and six
friends from Chicago, Seattle
and France. France was going
into lockdown, and Americans
were feeling scared and isolated.
Major life events such
as high school graduations and
weddings were canceled.
“In retrospect, I think I was
mourning, because I did something
I did when my dad died,”
recalled Campbell, 47, an executive
at a software company. “I
was staying up way too late —
till 1 or 2 in the morning, alone.”
But because members of the
chat group were in different
time zones, there was roundthe-clock
support. Regular
Zoom meetings allowed the
women to compare COVID-19
experiences in different countries,
voice their fears, talk
about work and share concerns
about remote schooling.
The group met weekly at
first, and still comes together
every two weeks or so.
Campbell said the popularity
of this type of long-distance socializing
surprises her a little,
but she’s glad to be a part of it.
“I feel like it was necessary,”
she said. “Everybody panicked
and threw out life preservers —
like, ‘Somebody pull me up into
your boat.’”

It’ll be a four-score for some area
By Mike Alongi
Due to unusual circumstances
that have turned into the norm
this year, student-athletes around
the North Shore have been
forced to adjust their schedules.
These changes have been
made to comply with the 2020-
2021 athletic calendar the
Massachusetts Interscholastic
Athletic Association (MIAA)
created due to the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic. That
calendar created a new fourth
season for this year, “Fall Sports
II,”, and MIAA subsequently
passed a temporary rule allowing
student-athletes to play a
sport in all four seasons.
And the student-athletes have
taken advantage of it.
Bishop Fenwick stands on
top as the school with the most
four-sport athletes in the area,
with a total of five — all football
players — taking on a new
sport this fall. Steven Woods and
Jason Romans picked up their
clubs and made the golf team,
while Colby Browne, Jacob
Vargus and Troy Irizarry have
all decided to run cross country.
“Since football is the only
sport we’re not playing this fall,
the football players were really
the only ones who had an opportunity
to pick up another sport,”
said Dave Woods, who serves as
Fenwick’s athletic director and
head football coach. “We’re really
happy for the guys and glad
that they’ve decided to expand
their horizons and take advantage
of the opportunity. They’re
definitely turning what could be
a negative into a positive.”
“It’s pretty cool to become
a four-sport athlete, it kind of
puts a silver lining on having the
athletes this athletic year
football season postponed,” said
Steven Woods, Dave’s son, who
also plays basketball in addition
to running outdoor track in the
spring. “I always said that if golf
was in a different season I would
have played it every year, so it’s
really cool to be able to get out
there and compete for the first
time.”
“I’ve always looked up to
multi-sport college athletes, and
I figured this would be a really
cool opportunity to expand my
horizons and see how good I
was at running cross country,”
said Vargus, who also suits up in
football, wrestling and lacrosse
for the Crusaders. “It was extremely
tough at first because I
could barely run a mile, but now
I’m running a 5K in under 22
minutes so I’ve been making a
lot of progress.”
For Irizarry, who initially
planned to focus on developing
in football this fall before deciding
to run cross country, the
changes he discovered his new
sport were a bit stark.
“It was a totally different feel
running cross country because in
the sports I play I’m used to quick
bursts of running and sprinting,
not extended running,” said
Irizarry, who has played football
and basketball for Fenwick
and was planning on playing his
first year of lacrosse last spring
before the season was canceled.
“But things have been going a lot
smoother lately and I actually just
broke my first personal record
last week. It’s been really fun
starting up a new sport, and it’s
a great start to what should be an
exciting year of sports for me.”
St. Mary’s also has a four-sport
athlete this year in sophomore
Jackson Field. Having already

up a new sport this season, taking advantage of the new four-sport athlete rule that was created
due to COVID-19 this academic year.
played football, basketball and
lacrosse as a freshman at St.
Mary’s, Field — whose father
Josh is the boys lacrosse coach
for the Spartans — jumped at the
chance to play golf this fall after
the football season was pushed to
“Fall Sports II.”
“I’ve been playing golf for a
long time now and I’ve really
been looking forward to a chance
to get out there and compete
since we heard there wouldn’t be
any football this fall,” said Field.
When asked out how he’ll
juggle all the responsibilities that
come with being a four-sport
athlete, Field doesn’t seem too
worried.
“I’ve been busy with sports
my whole life, so this really isn’t
anything new,” Field said. “I just
have to take it one sport at a time
and try to be the best I can be
each day no matter what and just
have fun with it.”
St. Mary’s athletic director Jeff
Newhall is glad that players like
Field get to expand their horizons
by getting out and playing a new
sport.
“I’m a firm believer that kids
should be playing multiple
sports,” said Newhall. “With the
current situation we’re in, I think
this presents a unique opportunity
to not only play in four different
seasons, but in most cases to try
something that they haven’t competed
in before.”
Elsewhere around the North
Shore, other student-athletes are
joining in on the fun.
Lynnfield’s Ava Buonfiglio
decided to take up cross country
once the volleyball season was
delayed to “Fall Sports II,” and
she’ll also play basketball and
tennis this year.
“Coming into high school I
had a few different options about
what to play, whether it was volleyball
or cross country or whatever,
so it’s been really exciting
to get to experience something
new this fall,” said Buonfiglio.
“It’s honestly harder for me to
go day to day and have nothing
to do than it is for me to juggle
all these sports at the same time,
so it’s really like second nature to
me at this point.”
And this likely won’t be the
end of players deciding to play a
fourth sport this year. Come the
end of February -- when football
and volleyball are slated to start
in the “Fall Sports II” season
— there could be a number of
players who decide to pick up
the pads or get out on the court
for the first time.
Lynnfield Bears earn playoff spot
By Mike Alongi
The Lynnfield field hockey
team got off to a bit of a slow
start to its 2020 season last week,
dropping its season opener at
home to Manchester-Essex before
earning a draw with rival
North Reading in Game No. 2.
The Pioneers simply couldn’t
get their offense going in the
opener against Manchester-
Essex, falling by a score of 1-0.
But Lynnfield got the offense
a little more heated up in the
second game, scoring four goals
in a 4-4 tie with North Reading.
The Pioneers are still getting
used to the new rules put in place
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lynnfield (0-1-1) is back in
action Thursday night, when the
Pioneers host Ipswich for their
Senior Night celebration.

The Lynnfield boys soccer
team kicked the season off on

Essex in a tough battle at
Lynnfield High.
“It was really exciting just
to get back out on the field and
play,” said Lynnfield coach
Brent Monroe. “We knew
coming in that this would be a
tough game and we were right.
We had to battle the whole way
and it was great to come away
with the win.”
Ben Sykes and Jack Bird each
scored a goal for the Pioneers,

assist.

Lynnfield girls soccer falls
to rival North Reading
By Mike Alongi
NORTH READING — The
Lynnfield girls soccer team
came up just short Saturday afternoon,
falling to rival North
Reading, 1-0, on the road. The
Pioneers couldn’t quite continue
the momentum it built up from
its season opener (a 1-0 penalty-kick
win over Manchester-
Essex), failing to find the back
of the net.
“I thought for the most part
we played really well out there,
especially on the defensive
end,” said Lynnfield coach
Mark Vermont. “It’s still early
in the season and we haven’t had
much time to work in practice,
so every day we’re just trying
to get better and get back in the
swing of things.”
Senior Julia Colucci played
well in the loss.
The Pioneers are returning
an incredibly veteran group
this season, with 19 of the 22
players on the varsity roster in
either their junior or season year.
Lynnfield went 13-3-3 and was
the No. 2 seed in the Division 3
North tournament in 2019.
Leading the way for Lynnfield
this season will be its group
of 10 seniors — Colucci,
Lauren Braconnier, Ashley
Mitchell, Lauren Mitchell,
Jenna Brodigan, Kiera Burns,
Emily Goguen, Michelle Miller,
Lindsay Nardone and Erin
Sharkey. Colucci, Braconnier,
Ashley Mitchell and Lauren
Mitchell have been named team
captains for the 2020 season.
For Vermont, having such a
veteran group that has experience
playing together is a huge
bonus in a season with a shortened
preseason and limited practice
time.
“Having that experience in
place is definitely a huge help,”
said Vermont. “These girls have
played a lot of games together
at this point, so a lot of that camaraderie
is already built in
from previous years. Obviously
it’s always great to get out and
practice and build more chemistry,
but a lot of that is luckily in
place for us already.”
As for how the season has
started off, Vermont knows
his team is far from a finished
product. But he has confidence
that things will fall into place
quickly.
“The most important thing is
that the girls are just so happy
to be out here competing and
playing games this season,” said
Vermont. “We’re just going to
keep getting after it every day
in practice and keep trying to be
the best we can be.”
Lynnfield (1-1) is right back
in action Monday morning (10)
with a road game against Cape
Ann League foe Ipswich.
