The draw for the quarter-finals will be announced via the Suffolk FA Twitter feed on Monday, December 6th at 3pm.

Macron SIL Senior Division leaders Claydon knocked Cornard United out of the CNet Training Suffolk Senior Cup.

They became the second SIL side to defeat Thurlow Nunn League Division One South opponents in this season’s first round and will now host Henley Athletic in the second round on Saturday.

Capel Plough, Coplestonians and Occold all advanced after coming out on top from the spot against Thurlow, Kesgrave Kestrels and Ipswich Vale Exiles Reserves respectively.
