Town Back in Premier Cup
Friday, 6th Jul 2012 16:12

Town have announced that they will be taking part in the Suffolk Premier Cup during the 2012/13 season. The Blues haven’t entered the competition, which they most recently won in 2009/10, for the last two seasons.

Manager Paul Jewell said: "We're looking forward to taking part in the Suffolk Premier Cup and facing local opposition."

Town have previously fielded reserves sides in the competition and are likely to do the same again with Jewell keen to give youngsters experience of playing against more senior players.

Lowestoft are the current holders having beaten Bury 4-2 in last year's final, which was played at Portman Road.

The draw for the Suffolk Premier Cup’s first round will be on BBC Radio Suffolk on Friday 20th July between 6.30pm and 7pm.

Meanwhile, Irish keeper Colin Doyle, who had been linked with the Blues earlier in the summer, has signed a new one-year deal with his current club Birmingham City.

irishtim added 16:26 - Jul 6 Good. Give fringe players a chance. Another keeper gone. Personally he wouldnt be my choice. Not saying he is a poor keeper just my opinion. Any news on Scott Loach?

BlueBailey24 added 16:56 - Jul 6 agree with irishtim - well apparently Watford have pulled out of the deal for Tom Heaton following the recent takeover of the club so who knows where that leaves Scott Loach :(

linhdi added 21:05 - Jul 6 Really pleased at this news - it restores a link between club and wider footballing community that I feared had gone. Suffolk has some decent non-league teams, and I hope that Town's ressies get some decent run-outs and help local clubs to make a bit of money along the way.
