n Brandon Lads, Lasses and Ladies FC held its second annual Summer Cup six-a-side tournament at the playing fields in Brandon.

The event attracted 63 teams from around Suffolk and Norfolk with some coming as far away as Woodbridge, Ipswich and Sudbury and some closer to home such as Weeting, Thetford and Moreton Hall.

Over 500 children aged between six and 14 took part and played some terrific football in very hot, sunny conditions. The whole event was sponsored by MAC Estates of Brandon plus aid from FHDC and other local businesses. The club is extremely grateful for the support.
