League report for Saturday 28th November.
FESTIVE winter warmers are in the offing on the football pitch to raise the temperatures locally as the conditions continue to plummet.
The county cup competitions once again took centre stage last week, as eight league sides were represented in the Suffolk Junior Cup and Suffolk Primary Cup third round ties. And of these, two have made it through to the respective quarter finals in both competitions, with arguably the two form sides in divisions one and two progressing.
Ashley Trindall's equaliser five minutes from the end of extra time forced a penalty shoot out after a 1-1 draw with Anglian Combination side Waveney. And Micki Williams' side prevailed, winning 4-2 on spot kicks, to set up a quarter final trip to Sudbury Athletic.
Division one sides Pot Black and Spexhall were not quite as fortunate as Danny McKinley's side narrowly lost 3-2 to Thurston at Normanston Park - despite goals from Rob Cooper and Gavin Hunt. Spexhall slipped to a 4-1 defeat at high flying Stonham Aspel.
In the Suffolk Primary Cup Pakefield Re-United hit five past Lowestoft International, winning 5-1 to set up a home encounter with Haughley United Reserves in the next round.
Kirkley & Pakefield B team's youngsters were gunned down by high-flying Walsham Le Willows A 5-2, the same scoreline suffered by Suffolk Punch in their trip to Somersham.

And with the draw not made until today, it will include Ellingham - who beat Costessey Sports 3-1 and Yarmouth Town Hall who smashed Wotton Park Rangers 6-1.
A 0-0 draw after extra time will see Norton Athletic Reserves host MU United Reserves tomorrow, as they look to join their fellow league sides in the next round.
