LOWESTOFT Town Reserves turned on the style to reach the quarter-finals of this season’s Portable Space Suffolk Senior Reserve Cup.

The Trawlerboys, who won the cup in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons before then not running a Reserve side for several years, were 6-0 winners at home to Woodbridge Town in one of the five third-round ties to take place on Saturday.

There were big away wins for Framlingham Town U23s (5-0 at East Bergholt United Reserves) and Brantham Athletic U23s (5-0 at Waveney Reserves) while a solitary goal was enough for Mutford & Wrentham Reserves to see off Long Melford U23s.

Framlingham Town U23s (green & white hooped shirts) are pictured above in action versus Needham Market U23s (red shirts) in the second round of this season’s competition.
