Ipswich Town duo Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin gave an awareness-raising show of support for two autistic mascots yesterday.

The Blues stars insisted on joining Joe and Hartley in wearing noise cancelling headphone when walking out onto the field in front of a crowd of 25,003.

This week has seen EFL football clubs across the land once again support Level Playing Field's annual Unite for Access Campaign - a celebration of accessibility and inclusion for disabled sports fans.

Town's home game against Accrington Stanley on Tuesday night has been designated as the club's official fixture for this charity initiative.

The Ipswich Town Foundation provides sensory packs to supporters on matchdays at Portman Road.
