It proved a great afternoon in the sun for Braintree Town as they beat Championship side Ipswich Town 2-0 in their pre-season friendly at Cressing Road.

The Suffolk side were downed by two goals from former Crawley Town midfielder Aryan Tajbakhsh - the second of which was a wonderfully struck free-kick - but it could have been a bigger winning margin for the Iron.

Jon Weaver captured the action with a series of photographs and after impressing at both ends of the pitch against the Blues, Braintree will head to AFC Sudbury with confidence on Tuesday evening for their fourth outing of pre-season.
