Carlos is aiming to defeat his own club

FOUR cup finals on one day can only mean Super Sunday is here.

CARLOS Edwards will be trying to defeat the club where he has just been appointed joint manager in a cup final on Sunday!

The former Ipswich Town captain has recently been announced as joint manager alongside current boss Jamie Scales at Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division side Woodbridge Town.

However, the 40-year-old will be lining up for his Sunday Side Whitton United Veterans against Woodbridge Town Veterans in the Suffolk Veterans’ Cup Final on Sunday at Needham Market FC.

And he is expected to be joined in the Whitton United side by two other ex-Ipswich Town players – Kieron Dyer and Titus Bramble.

The final, which kicks-off at 3pm, is one of four being staged at Bloomfields as part of Super Sunday – the third year running that Suffolk FA have staged multiple adult Sunday finals on one day.

However, this year sees four finals, as opposed to three played previously at AFC Sudbury, as two finals will take place on the main pitch and two on the adjoining 3G pitch.
