AFC SUDBURY will be bidding to complete a hat-trick of successes in the Suffolk Boys’ Under-18 Midweek Cup on Monday.

They face Bury Town in the final at Colchester United’s Weston Homes Community Stadium, kick-off 4pm.

AFC Sudbury (yellow shirts) are pictured above on the attack during last season’s final against Walsham-le-Willows (red shirts) at Colchester United FC.

A 3-1 semi-final victory over Kirkley & Pakefield at Woodbridge Town FC saw AFC Sudbury book their place in the final for a third year in a row.

Opponents Bury Town beat Leiston 6-5 in a penalty shoot-out after the two teams had drawn 1-1 in their last-four tie at Whitton United FC.
