    Jake Hutchings scored a hat-trick as Leiston beat Ipswich Town's under-18s 6-3 in the pick of last night's Suffolk Premier Cup quarter-finals. 

    The victory means the Blues are still challenging on three fronts this season, and chairman Andy Crisp is determined that they go all the way in at least one of them.

    "We've got quite a lot going on as a club this season but would we want to win the Premier Cup? Yes, we would," he said.

    "We want to win the Premier Cup, we want to win the league, we'd like to win the trophy, we want to win every game and that's the approach we're taking this year and so far that's been a successful approach."

    In the other games, Needham Market beat AFC Sudbury 1-0, while Newmarket Town were 3-2 winners over Haverhill Rovers after extra-time.  

    The game between Felixstowe & Walton United and Lowestoft Town was postponed.

  8. New mental health beds for children lie empty as funding not availablepublished at 17:58 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2016

    BBC Look East

    A number of mental health beds at the Dragonfly Unit at Carlton Court, built in Oulton Broad for children and teenagers at a cost of almost £1m, are lying empty because NHS England says it hasn't decided if it can fund them. `

    Carlton Court

    The capital spend for the building was funded by the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, external to increase the number of beds for children and teenagers and decrease the numbers having to be sent hundreds of miles away from their families. 

    Sarah Barrett, 19, from Southwold, was sent to Southampton in 2014, after attempting to take her own life: "It wasn't really until the day before I had to leave that I was like 'this is a long way away' and then when I was in hospital, mum said she couldn't come down and see me one weekend because she just couldn't get there, it was just too far away and she couldn't afford it."

    NHS England says it won't change its funding for staff until a review is completed - some time before March 2018.

    But we've just realised actor Larry Lamb, one of this year's contestants, has links to Suffolk in the form of one of the most mocked and unfondly remembered British TV dramas of all time.

    He was on board for the BBC's drama Triangle, external which lasted for three series in the early 1980s. 

    It came in at third place in "worst-ever TV shows, external" list in the Radio Times in 2006, and even featured in a TV Hell night on the BBC in 1992.

    The series was set on a ferry line operating between Gothenburg, Amsterdam and... Felixstowe, thus forming the titular triangle across the usually overcast North Sea.

    It's not currently available on the BBC iPlayer but I'm sure you can find it on YouTube.

    Here is Larry as Matt Taylor with his Triangle co-star - the late Kate O'Mara, who played Katherine Laker.

    There's been a mixed reaction to news that Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, has signed an extradition order for alleged computer hacker Lauri Love.

    Writing on our Facebook page, external:

    Lauri Love

    The story has also prompted Norma Hornby to email us from Warrington in Cheshire.

    In her email, she says: "The Home Secretary Amber Rudd's decision to sign Lauri Love's extradition order is in my opinion, inhumane and against the young man's human rights. There has been international support along with a letter to Barack Obama, signed by over 130 MPs, he should face any charges in the UK."

    She signs off: "A very disappointing decision for all concerned and it is difficult to determine in whose interest it has been made."

  19. Dehumidifier identified as source of fire on Oulton Broad boatpublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2016

    Fire investigation officers confirmed that in December last year, owner Richard Bassey bought the dehumidifier. The product was recalled the following month, but Mr Bassey was unaware of this.

    He had been on board earlier on the day of the fire, and had emptied the tank of the dehumidifier, having noticed it was full.

    As he returned in the afternoon, he said he could see smoke coming out of one of the windows "and half the cabin was already well alight."

    Adding that he sometimes slept on the boat, Mr Bassey said: "Had that been the situation that day, then it could have been a bit more serious."
