WEST Suffolk sides held the upper hand in the Best Badges Suffolk Sunday Cup Quarter-Finals.

Teams from the Bury & District Sunday League came out on top against their Ipswich Sunday Football League opponents in three of Sunday’s four quarter-finals.

The only ISFL side to reach the final four were Borussia Martlesham, who edged past BDSL Division One side Barrow 2-1.

Moreton Hall Ferals were 12-2 winners against Playford, Mellis saw off Trimley Raiders 6-3 and Elmswell Athletic went through 4-3 on penalties following a 3-3 draw with Portman Rovers.
