In last season's tournament Lowestoft Town progressed to the final after beating Gorleston 3-2, drawing 0-0 with Waveney, losing 1-0 to Caister and then beating Yarmouth 1-0.

The final was between Lowestoft Town and Waveney and with the match finishing 0-0 it went to penalties, in which Lowestoft held their nerve and won 4-1 to lift the trophy that they will defend on Sunday.

I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday!!
