The Blues progressed to the Second Qualifying Round of this years FA Youth Cup after a hard fought win over fellow Suffolk rivals Walsham Le Willows. After spurning some great chances including a 'goal' disallowed and Adam Blades striking a post, Harry Burman finally fired the Blues ahead. But the hosts were made to pay for not adding further goals when Walsham equalised in first half stoppage time. Leiston continued to press and were rewarded when Tom Smith's shot was deflected home via Adam Blades.
