Leiston, external manager Glenn Driver's vowed to keep 40-goal striker Matt Blake at Victory Road for as long as possible.

The former Norwich United player reached the landmark in last night's 2-1 win over Folkestone Invicta.

"There's clubs out there showing an interest in Blakey all of the time, whether we get phone calls or not, you hear little whispers and see things on social media," said Driver. 

"But he's a Leiston player and he's got a year left on his contract, and if we can keep him here then we've got a good striker for the rest of this year and next, so that's our plan and what we aim to do."

The victory moves Glenn Driver's side back up to fourth place in the Ryman Premier Division, external , two points behind third-placed Needham Market, external .

"I'd love to see the boy win the Golden Boot (awarded to the league's top scorer)," said Driver. 

"It would be major for him after he stepped up from the Thurlow Nunn Premier to the Ryman Premier Division last year. If he wins the Golden Boot at this level that's an amazing achievement."

If it looks bright and cheerful out there now, make the most of it, as a band of rain is set to move in from the west later today.

Cloud will thicken, bringing some showery outbreaks of rain from the south-west during the afternoon. 

Some rain may locally turn heavy, with hail possible, and brisk, south-easterly winds, which will be strongest near coasts. Maximum temperature 8C (46F).

Best get the washing out on the line early, and get it back in by lunchtime....

Police in Ipswich are launching a new approach to tackling criminal behaviour, looking at local young people who are involved in on-street violence and drug dealing.

Supt Kerry Cutler (pictured on a previous occasion) said: "We wanted to try something different, we wanted to be a bit bold with how we manage our existing resources. 

"We decided to pull together a small team to really tackle issues related to youths involved in drugs and anti social behaviour.

"It's about working with them, their families and partner agencies, to take a robust approach to their offending, but also to look at diverting them from committing offences in the first place."

Incidents in the town over recent months include:

• Disorder in Nacton Road
• Police officers being threatened in Corton Road 
• Robbery and possession of an offensive weapon in Norwich Road 
• Possession of cannabis in St Lawrence Street
