Cup ties go ahead after rain relents
THE majority of the scheduled Suffolk county cup quarter-finals went ahead at the weekend.
The rain that had swept across the county on Thursday and Friday relented over the weekend to allow the quarter-final ties in the Videndum Suffolk Girls’ U12, U13, U14, & U15 Cups to be played on Sunday morning.
Waveney Lionesses came out on top in their two ties versus Kirkley & Pakefield, defeating the Royals 2-1 in the U12 Cup and the Diamonds by the same scoreline in the U13 Cup.
Woodbridge Town went through to the last four in two competitions, beating Needham Market Phoenix 3-0 in the U12 Cup and Cornard Dynamos 5-1 in the U15 Cup. However, the Woodpeckers lost 8-1 to Claydon in the U14 Cup.
Woodbridge Town (black & white striped shirts) are pictured playing Ipswich Valley Rangers (blue & white hooped shirts) in last season’s Suffolk Girls’ U14 Cup Final. Woodbridge, who won 5-1, now playing as U15s are through to the semi-finals of this season’s Girls’ U15 Cup.
