Top scorer Conor Chaplin was named the men's Players’ Player of the Year at last night’s End-of-Season Dinner at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall.

Around 350 guests were at the event which was hosted by club ambassador Simon Milton. CEO Mark Ashton welcomed those present, while managers Kieran McKenna and Joe Sheehan. An auction raised money for the Ipswich Town Foundation.

Blues left-back Greg Leigh later showed off his vocal skills, joined by his teammates.

Chaplin, who at the weekend won the Supporters Club Player of the Year having previously been named in the EFL League One Team of the Season, carried off the Players’ Player award for the men, while keeper Sarah Quantrill won the women’s gong.

"Forward Chaplin, who has netted 29 goals in all competitions this season, also won the Corporate Player of the Season award with Natasha Thomas picking up the women’s equivalent.

Chaplin’s excellent team goal at Derby was named the men’s Goal of the Season, the move having taken 11 seconds to go from keeper Christian Walton’s arms to the back of the net. The women’s Goal of the Season was Nia Evans’s strike at QPR.

George Edmundson and Sophie Peskett won the Philip-Hope Cobbold Award for Service to the Community.

Meanwhile, on-loan Blues midfielder Idris El Mizouni was named Leyton Orient’s Manager’s Player and Players’ Player of the Season.

Europablue added 13:08 - May 3 Also, that goal against Derby was good, but I rate the goal that Hirst scored at Barnsley and also the Broadhead freekick against Wednesday higher.

Cadiar added 13:40 - May 3 Well that's 2 players who could have careers outside of football, a couple of crooners. Good to see Idris being recognised for his outstanding work at Orient. Wonder how his future is going to pan out, he's obviously quite a talent.

Radlett_blue added 16:16 - May 3 Of course, in the modern world, the women's player of the year has to have equal status with Chaplin.

Linkboy13 added 17:45 - May 3 With Orient in league one can see Idris signing on a permanent deal, he's still quite young and could move on to bigger things later in his career. If he came back to Ipswich he would only be a squad player at best. Thing's could also be difficult for Cameron Humphreys next season with the squad being strengthened even more in preseason can see a season's loan for him as well.
