LEISTON manager Stuart Boardley will face his former club in the semi-final of this season’s Suffolk Premier Cup.

Boardley launched his career as an Ipswich Town Youth team player, before playing for Torquay United and then dropping down into non-league, spending 12 years with Leiston either side of a spell at AFC Sudbury.
