THERE are some mouthwatering all-Suffolk ties in this season’s FA cup competitions.

Two all-Suffolk ties await in the Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round – Hadleigh United v Mildenhall Town and Lakenheath v Bury Town – on Saturday, August 6th.

There are home draws for six other Suffolk sides – Brantham Athletic, Haverhill Rovers, Ipswich Wanderers, Kirkley & Pakefield, Walsham-le-Willows and Whitton United.

In the preliminary round two weeks later there will be a repeat of last season’s tie between AFC Sudbury and Stowmarket Town.

AFC Sudbury won 1-0 after a replay before going on to reach the First Round Proper where they landed a plum draw at home to League Two side Colchester United.

There is only one all-Suffolk clash in the first qualifying round of the Isuzu FA Vase as Cornard United host Haverhill Rovers.

Framlingham Town have an attractive home tie versus higher-league Norwich United, while both Brantham Athletic and Whitton United will also have home advantage.

If newly-promoted Ipswich Wanderers can get past Baldock Town they will be away again at fellow Suffolk side Long Melford.

Three Suffolk sides – Brantham Athletic, Hadleigh United and Whitton United - have home draws in the extra preliminary round of the FA Youth Cup in the week commencing August 15th.
