Town s youngsters were dumped out of the Suffolk FA Premier Cup by Leiston after they were defeated 2-1 in their semi-final tie at Felixstowe & Walton United s Goldstar Ground on Wednesday evening. Tom Bullard gave the non-league side a half-time lead and although Thomas Hughes equalised for Town, sub Harrison Bacon sent Leiston through to the final with a stoppage-time winner.
Adem Atay s side - an U18s team plus U23s Pat Webber, Ross Marshall and Conor McKendry - struggled to get into the game early on and Toby Egan made a couple of good early saves to deny former Blues youngster Kyle Hammond and then Matt Blake, before Matt Rutherford fired a loose ball across goal but wide of the far post in the fourth minute.
