THERE were goals galore in the McDonald’s Suffolk Primary Cup Second Round on Saturday.

The 15 second round ties yielded 103 goals at an average of 6.86 per game, with at least four goals scored in every match.

The Thurlow Reserves versus Brooks Hall Rovers tie ended 10-4 to the home team, while there were ten goals at Saxmundham Sports Reserves, who lost 7-3 to Witnesham Wasps.

Kirton Athletic Development also netted seven as they won 7-2 versus Bungay Town U23s, while three teams each scored six times away from home – Occold (6-0 at Achilles Reserves), Ipswich Exiles (6-0 at Bramford United) and Haverhill Town (6-1 at Woolverstone United Reserves).
