Ipswich Town out of the FA Cup

Ipswich Town are out of the FA Cup - narrowly missing out on a spot in the quarter finals.

They were beaten by fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest 5-4 on penalties, after a 1-all draw at the City Ground.

Ipswich's exit from the competition means they now switch their full focus to trying to stay in the Premier League with 11 games remaining.

Boss Kieran McKenna was proud of his players and believes they can take heart from battling with one of the top teams in the league.

He said: "We are disappointed to lose the game but that can happen in the penalty shoot-out. Really tough way to lose a match.

"Really proud of the efforts of the players, they couldn't have put anything more into the game, they left everything out on the pitch.

"We can take a lot of positives from tonight but the main outcome we wanted was to go through.

"I think the players come into the training ground with a renewed confidence the way they competed."
