The Official Ipswich Town Supporters Club awards took place at the Blues’ home game with Middlesbrough.
Six awards were presented, two prior to kick-off and four shortly after full-time following a 1-1 draw at Portman Road.
Having led by example in another promotion-chasing campaign, Sam Morsy was named the Men’s Player of the Year.
Town’s captain has been a consistent performer once again, making 39 appearances to date and finding the back of the net on two occasions - a fine strike at Rotherham and a dramatic late winner against Watford at Vicarage Road - while his deflected strike against Leicester on Boxing Day secured a point against Town's promotion rivals.
Sophie Peskett was named the Women’s Player of the Season. The exciting midfielder, who scored one and set up two in the Tractor Girls’ historic 5-0 win against Chatham in front of a crowd of over 10,000 at Portman Road last month, has 12 goals and 17 assists in 25 appearances this term.
Finley Barbrook, Town U21s’ captain, received the Academy Player of the Year award for a campaign where he has also enjoyed successful loan spells with National League South side Chelmsford City.
The Irene Davey Award, named in honour of the Supporter Club’s former patron who sadly passed away earlier this year, was presented to Kieran McKenna.
Wes Burns picked up the Portman Road Moment of the Season trophy for his stunning outside-of-the-foot finish against Coventry City, the Welshman’s goal coming at the end of a fine team move and ultimately making the difference in a 2-1 victory over the Sky Blues.
The Unforgettable Moment, meanwhile, was awarded to Jeremy Sarmiento following the Brighton loanee’s 97th-minute winner against promotion rivals Southampton on Easter Monday.
