Suffolk fools gladly

The draw for the Suffolk Cup was made on Saturday – it looked like any other non-League draw when the following ties came out of the hat - Achilles v Whitton Utd, Felixstowe Utd v Cornard Utd, Lakenheath v Team Bury, Long Melford v Ipswich Ath, Ransomes Sports v Melton St Audry’s, Stowmarket Town v Beccles.

However players, officials and fans of Grundisburgh, Leiston St Margarets, Haughley and Corton were confused – their teams did not come out of the hat. The reason? The Suffolk FA forgot to put the teams which had first round byes into the hat for the second round. So, now it’s a re-draw on Saturday as the original draw has been declared void.

Are there red faces at the Suffolk FA? Are there apologies to the fans of Cornard United who were looking forward to a day out at Felixstowe United? Well, not yet. The Suffolk FA’s website refers to “technical difficulties with the Suffolk FA Senior Cup draw”. More of a cock-up, FootballCynic would say.
