It’s been a dream start for AFC Sudbury caretaker boss Danny Laws at AFC Sudbury.
And while it appears Laws isn’t in the running for the job on a permanent basis due to his commitment to the Academy, it is still a fillip for him to have managed the team to two victories, albeit both in the cup.
Last week it was Chipstead who were beaten by Sudbury in the FA Cup and on Tuesday night, Brightlingsea, from the Bostik Premier were thumped 5-1 in the League Cup.
Sudbury’s Bostik North league position however is not wonderful.
Only sitting out of the relegation zone on goal difference, the King’s Marsh Stadium side face a tough test at home to high-flying Heybridge Swifts this afternoon.

Jody Brown’s Essex side are unbeaten in the league and last weekend held Bostik Premier side, Met Police to a draw in the FA Cup.
“Sudbury are playing some tremendous football, scoring many goals, and in Danny Laws they have an experienced manager that can coach as well, so they’ll be organised and ready for us,” Laws admitted.
