Dara O’Shea and Sophie Peskett won the Town Player of the Year awards at last night’s End-of-Season Dinner at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall.

O’Shea joined the Blues from Burnley for £15 million in the summer and has made more Premier League starts than anyone else.

Peskett carried off the Golden Boot having scored 23 times as Ipswich Town Women won the FAWNL Southern Premier Division title to secure promotion to the second tier, recently renamed WSL2, for the first time.

Top scorer Liam Delap was named Men’s Players’ Player of the Year and Leah Mitchell the Women’s Players’ Player of the Year.

Delap also won the Men’s Young Player of the Year, while Lucy O’Brien picked up the women’s equivalent award.

The England U21 international striker, who almost certainly will spend only one season at the club, also carried off the Men’s Goal of the Season gong for finishing off the Town’s second in the 2-0 win at AFC Bournemouth.

Teenager Kaci-Jai Bonwick’s debut 25-yarder in the final-day 8-0 hammering of Cheltenham Town won the Women’s Goal of the Season.

Forward Tommy Taylor, who has been on the first-team bench on two occasions, was named the Academy Player of the Year.

Chieo Ogbene and Natasha Thomas won this year’s Philip Hope-Cobbold Award for the club’s Community Champions.

Linkboy13 added 11:10 - May 20 O'shea just about edged it for being consistent although playing up front for Ipswich was a thankless task with no support.

hamish added 11:43 - May 20 Sophie Peskett is a class act. The two games I've seen them play live she has absolutely run the show. I suspect there will be interest in her from bigger clubs. The women had an incredible season; 88 goals in 22 games really tells the story!

virginblue added 13:53 - May 20 Cajuste not near POTY for me. His defensive work just isn’t where it needs to be. Does loads of wonderful eye catching stuff going forward, but his tracking back and covering ain’t the best. Vardy’s goal on Sunday a good example. Slow reacting to Clarke slipping then should have dragged Justin down before he played the through ball.
