00:04 Former Ipswich Town defender George Fowler is heading back to his old club after his current side Maidstone United drew the Tractor Boys in
00:12 the fourth round of the FA Cup. Fowler spent seven years with the Blues and made one first-team appearance
00:17 which came in the Carabao Cup against Crystal Palace in
00:20 2017. Speaking to Suffolk News' sister title, Kent Online,
00:24 he said, "Even though the boys were hoping for a massive Premier League club,
00:28 Ipswich are a team who are up at the top of the championship, so it's going to be a great occasion for us."
00:33 In cricket, Suffolk Cricket Club have appointed Josh Cantrell as their new white ball captain.
00:38 He will replace Adam Mansfield who skippered the side in both T20 and 50 over formats last season.
00:44 The all-rounder who last season led Bury St Edmunds for the first time in the Thurlow Nunn East Anglian Premier League
00:49 said he was very grateful to have the opportunity to take the two teams forward.
00:54 And finally, our top story this week. Walsham the Willows joint boss Ian Hubbard is
00:58 relishing the chance to face Tilbury tomorrow in the last 32 of the FA Vars.
01:03 Prior to this season, the furthest the Willows had reached in the Vars was the second round and they made more club history last month
01:09 when they saw off white Enzyne 3-2 at home. Tomorrow's tie will be a tough one for Walsham
