"I’m delighted to be able to host five county cup finals at league grounds this season, with two at Colchester United who always host excellent occasions and three back at Portman Road for the first time since 2019,” Suffolk FA chief executive Richard Neal said.

"I’m sure these finals, alongside those already announced, will provide an exciting end to the 2023/24 season.”
