The Blues progressed in Endeavour Automotive Suffolk Premier Cup against Bury Town after Ben Fowkes’ late goal on 88 minutes sent Chris Wigger’s side into the second round, and set up a date at home to Lowestoft Town.

Ex-Blues keeper Charlie Beckwith made numerous saves in the first half while in the second period, Leiston hit the bar through Ollie Yun and Harley Curtis put over from close range.

Bury Town themselves hit the crossbar with time running out but Fowkes’s goal from Ismael Fatadjo’s cross put Leiston ahead.
