THE first-round draw has been made for this season’s Parkers Pitches Suffolk Junior Cup.

A total of 34 teams have entered this season’s competition, meaning there will be just two first-round ties.

Claydon and Ipswich Wanderers Development, who are among ten new teams in this season’s competition, will be involved in the first round.

Ipswich Wanderers Development will travel up the east coast to face Kessingland, while Claydon will be away to Kesgrave Kestrels.
