Are You the Hottest Shot in Town? - Ipswich Town News

The Blues are looking for fans to take part in their Hottest Shot in Town competition. Three supporters will be invited on to the pitch at half-time to discover whether or not they are a latter-day Ted Phillips.

The ITFC Charitable Trust will be armed with a speedgun to test the power of contestants' shots, each of whom will get two blasts, with the top four over the season returning to Portman Road for the final home game against Millwall on April 21st, to find the overall winner.

The winning contestant will not only land the title of the Hottest Shot in Town, they will also walk off with £1000 of vouchers to spend in the Co-op.

But there will be an extra edge to that as well, where speed work will come in handy again - and the winner will be joined by a Town player to claim their prize. Further details will follow from the club at a later date.

Ex-Blue Fabian Wilnis had a go on Saturday, hitting the 65mph mark but can you do any better? To enter the Hottest Shot in Town competition, text ITFC and the following details to 60070

ITFC (Full name) (Age) (Contact number) so for example: itfc paul jewell 27 01473 400500
