Harry Wright show

Wednesday 5 March 2025, Felixstowe and Walton United 2 Needham Market 2 (3-0 on pens) - Suffolk Premier Cup, semi-final, Humber Doucy Lane (Ipswich Wanderers)


Bagged the last car park space and still 20 minutes before kick off! First half was easily forgotten, in a half of few chances with both teams probably thinking about Saturday with Felixstowe going for promotion and Needham fighting relegation, in fact they could end up being in the same division next season.


Second half was a vast improvement with Felixstowe going 2 up, both goals coming from set pieces on 61 and 66 minutes. This woke Needham up, who got one back on 74 minutes then equalised two minutes into injury time.


You would have thought the momentum would now be with the team from the higher league, Needham but it became the Harry Wright show, with the Felixstowe keeper ( son of ex Ipswich, Arsenal, everton, Man City and England keeper- Richard) saving the first three Needham penalty kicks whilst his teammates scored all their penalties.


Felixstowe now into the final where they will again face a team from a higher division.
