The last remaining first-round match in this season's CNet Training Suffolk Senior Cup saw East Bergholt United gain a modicum of revenge against Leiston Reserves, who beast them on penalties in last season's semi-final.

After a 2-2 draw it was East Bergholt United who came out on top in the penalty shoot-out, winning 5-4. They will now host Framlingham Town in round two.

AFC Sudbury’s victory over Brantham Athletic on Sunday has set up a repeat of last season’s final in the MH Goals Suffolk Women’s Cup.

The holders will travel to Needham Market, who they defeated 3-1 last season at Colchester United FC to win the cup for the second time.

In Sunday’s other remaining first-round tie Haverhill Rovers were comfortable winners against Ipswich Valley Rangers and will now be away to East Bergholt United.

Moreton Hall Ferals, losing finalists last season, were 12-1 winners against Bedricks Worth in the Best Badges Suffolk Sunday Cup Second Round the following day.

The draw for the quarter-finals will be announced on Tuesday lunchtime at 1pm.

Bacton United 89, who were last season’s Suffolk Sunday Trophy winners, won 5-0 at home to Crafted Athletic in round two of the Best Badges Suffolk Sunday Shield.

The quarter-final draw will be made on Wednesday lunchtime at 1pm.

There were goals galore in the second round of the Best Badges Suffolk Sunday Trophy – 13 of them coming in one tie as West Suffolk Wolves overcame Haverhill Town 8-5.
