Whitton into fourth successive cup final

WHITTON United will contest their fourth consecutive Best Badges Suffolk Veterans’ Cup Final.

Buoyed by a goal inside the first minute, Whitton beat old rivals Woodbridge Town, who they have defeated in each of the previous three finals, 2-1 in Sunday’s semi-final.

In the final they will face Lowestoft Town, who have never previously reached the showpiece occasion, following their 6-0 win away to Walsham-le-Willows.

That will be one of four finals which will be hosted by Needham Market FC on ‘Suffolk Super Sunday’ on Sunday, May 1st.

Kitchener Taverners, meanwhile, made it through to their third Suffolk Sunday Cup Final in five seasons thanks to a 2-0 victory over Barrow.

Their opponents will be Moreton Hall Ferals who beat last season’s runners-up AFC Bergholt to reach their first final. The 5-3 scoreline was the highest-scoring county cup match of the weekend.

Leiston Orient, the 2016-17 winners of the Veo Suffolk Sunday Shield, booked their place in this season’s final thanks to a 3-2 win against Blakenham Chequers.

Their opponents in the final will be Laxfield, who edged past Moreton Hall 96 2-1 and will now be making their debut in the final of the competition.
