Registered players
At the start of each season, clubs in the Suffolk League send a list of their registered players to the Competitions Secretary. It’s interesting to compare clubs and numbers over the years. The following table compares the current registrations with those of 30 years ago:

2012/13 |

Adastral Park (was BTR) | 16 | 10 |
Black Knights (Leiston) | 4 | No club |
Bury St Edmunds | 15 | 41 |
Clacton | Not in League | 14 |
