    "A huge disappointment" is how Needham Market, external boss Mark Morsley described his side's loss in the second round of qualifying for the FA Trophy this weekend. 

    The Marketmen went out of the competition after a 1-2 loss at home to Harrow Borough.

    After the game, Morsley criticised himself and his players: "I feel that my players and my staff and myself have let our football club down. 

    "It was the performance of a relegation team as far as I'm concerned which clearly we haven't been so far this year. 

    "A lack of desire, a lack of drive, a lack of organisation in many ways and after a very, very poor first half we get the perfect opportunity to put that right in the second half with the goal after 10 seconds and then spend the next 10 minutes in our box." 

    There was success for other Suffolk sides though. 

    Two goals from Craig Parker helped AFC Sudbury to a 4-0 win over Romford, while Jack Ainsley scored the only goal in Leiston's victory over Chippenham.
