Did you play football in the Ipswich inter-firm cup?

Who remembers playing in the Ipswich Inter-Firm Cup. I certainly do.
The EADT had some strong teams in it back in the day and I remember one year we got to the final but lost to BT Research 0-5 It was played at Halifax Road, Ipswich. Our home matches used to be at Woolverstone.
Although I do believe the EADT won it many years before. Pictured on here are a few Inter-Firm teams from the past.
Suffolk FA resurrected the competition in 2009, I think it was. And I must confess seeing as the EADT don't have a team anymore, is the competition still going?
Anyhow, just out of interest, back in 2010, this was the first round draw: Muntons v Churchill, Call Connection v ASDA, Barnes Group v Allport, Ipswich Borough Council v Northgate High School Staff, Suffolk Fire Service v Ipswich Postals, Ipswich Town FC Community Trust staff v J Breheny Contractors, BT Trimley v CSD, ISG Jackson v Ipswich Area Police.
What are your memories/thoughts of the Inter-firm cup. Anyone got any team pix of inter-firm teams?
