Tony Armstrong is looking forward to the light-hearted banter which will no doubt accompany Harwich and Parkeston's Ridgeons League premier division clash at AFC Sudbury tonight.

The Shrimpers' chairman stirred up a war of words with the Suffolk giants earlier in the season when he questioned their lack of ambition by not moving out of the league - despite four title wins on the bounce.

And, with Sudbury running away with the league again this year, and their decision to stay put for the 2005/06 campaign, it has ruffled the feathers of rival clubs and Armstrong alike.

The Harwich chairman told the Gazette: "There's no ill-feeling between me and Sudbury.

"I've got a lot of respect for them and what they've achieved but I just feel they're being unfair to other clubs in the league in that they haven't moved on."
