SATURDAY IN THE SIL
The standout result from Saturday's matches was Westerfield United Reserves' penalty shoot out victory over Lowestoft Town Reserves in the 1st Round of the Suffolk Senior Reserve Cup. Lowestoft have won this competition for the past two seasons, a period during which they have twice been Ridgeons Reserve League Champions, losing only two matches!
Old Newton United's 4-0 win over Westerfield United 1st team saw them move to the top of the Senior Division following Achilles' 3-1 home defeat by Felixstowe United.
Early pace setters in Division 1 are BT Trimley, Saxmundham Sports and newly promoted duo Trimley Red Devils and Ipswich Exiles.

GEORGE CLAYTON (1928-2010)
The League is very sad to have to report the death of Meritorious Service Award Winner George Clayton, who passed away peacefully on August 31st.
Alan McDougall has penned the following:-
After a successful time between the sticks for Wickham Market, George joined Fonnereau Athletic in 1953/54, his great friend Bob Coleman, persuading the talented keeper to join them. George played first team and reserve football for Fonnereau. In 1958/59 George turned his hand to managing and coaching, with the newly-formed Fonnereau Minor side, that ten years later became the "A" side and took the IDL Division 5 title at the first attempt in the late 60s.
More success followed, resulting in George progressing to involvement with Fonnereau Reserves, then the 1st team. An invaluable stalwart that every Club needs, attending to all those countless tasks that need to be done, George received numerous "Clubman of the Year" awards at Fonnereau, eventually being made a Life Member.
In 1989, George was awarded the prestigious Meritorious Service Award by the SIL, in recognition of the service given to local football by this quiet, unassuming man, where fairplay with dignity was uppermost in everything he did. Personal circumstances then led to George needing to spend his time at home, looking after his beloved wife Elsie.
In later years, his love for the game took him to Sidegate Avenue to watch his newly-adopted team, Ransomes Sports FC, where he was made Club President in 2006 and latterly, Club Patron.
A true gentleman, who will be sadly missed.
