The Suffolk FA have produced some outstanding Youth (U18) teams in recent years, enjoying great success in the prestigious FA County Youth Cup.
Suffolk won The Cup after beating Hampshire in the 2005 Final, lost to West Riding on kicks from the penalty mark in the 2007 Final and lifted The Cup again last weekend after accounting for Cambridgeshire in this year's showpiece. Ipswich Town's Portman Road ground has hosted both of their Final victories.
Two wins inside four years. Can any other County match that?
Yes, five Counties have managed it in the 65-year history of the competition.
Essex were winners back in 1948 and 1950. Liverpool actually won it three times in four years - 1977, 1978 and 1980. East Riding won it in 1985 and 1988.
Durham won it in 1993 and 1996, and then again in 1999. So they've taken The Cup home twice in four years twice.
Most recently, Birmingham put their name on the trophy in 2000 and 2002. They even reached the 2001 Final too.
Suffolk could well be a team to avoid in next season's First Round draw!
