Of all the local non-league cups, it is the Suffolk Senior Cup that is my favourite. The players seem to care about winning this and they all want the chance to play on the Portman Road turf.
The senior teams in the cup are from the Thurlow Nunn, Eastern Counties, Division One, however they have not won it for a couple of seasons and already this year, Suffolk & Ipswich side, Achilles have sent Framlingham packing.
I was interested to see how Eastern Counties side, Whitton United would do against their junior opponents. They certainly were coming into the game in form after winning their last league game, 8-0.
I was impressed with the welcome at Haughley, a full bar, cheap beer and then a mug of tea and a hot sausage roll at half time but they may have made their opponents too welcome on the pitch as Whitton went one better than last week and won this game 9-0.
Will the North West Ipswich lads make it to Portman Road? They have a great chance but they will have far harder tests ahead of them in the later cup rounds.
