Framlingham Town manager Liam Abraham was left brimming with pride after seeing his Step 6 outfit get to within minutes of forcing a penalty shootout against Step 3 hosts Needham Market in the Suffolk Champions Charity Cup. Tuesday’s match between the county’s reigning Premier Cup and Senior Cup holders at Bloomfields eventually saw Kevin Horlock’s side force an 88th minute breakthrough against the plucky Castlemen. “It was really, really good to go toe-to-toe with them for 85 minutes.”Abraham’s side also had chances to take the lead themselves at the three-times consecutive Premier Cup holders. “He’s big, strong and physical but can also play as well and brings a different dynamic to the team that we didn’t have last year, so I’m really, really happy to have got that one done. “Archie was at Needham in their under-23s last year and Shane has been at Trimley and Felixstowe previously,” he said.
