Ipswich Town star Conor Chaplin scooped a hat-trick of awards at last night's end of season dinner - and said his goal of the season just demonstrates the team ethic at the Blues. 

Chaplin, who's plundered a staggering 29 goals this term - 26 in the league - was named men's player's player of the season, men's corporate player of the season and handed men's goal of the season for his lightning counter-attack strike at Derby County.

And Chaplin, who leads the race for the League One golden boot by one goal from Peterborough's Jonson Clarke-Harris going into the last game of the season, was quick to point out this Town side is all about the team.

He explained: "It’s a team goal for sure. I had the easy part, putting it in the back of the net. The lads before that - Walts, Broady and Wes - had a big, big part to play.

"It’s more of a team award, for sure."

Of his awards triple, which come after his player of the season nod in the supporters' club awards on Saturday, Chaplin added: "It’s lovely. It’s nice to have had such an impact on the team this season.

"I think there could have been a lot of winners in those categories, we’ve had so many consistent performers throughout the season, so to be winners of those is special."

Asked about winning promotion on Saturday, and the subsequent celebrations, Town's number ten smiled: "It’s been the best (few days). Great times, special times, memories that will last a long, long time.

"Saturday was incredible – I don’t think it could have gone any better. Probably one of the best days I’ve had in football and one of the best days I’ve had in my life.

"To share that with the group of lads we’ve got and the coaching staff was special."

He added: "The celebrations were so, so good. Everyone was together and the lads were in great form, everyone enjoyed it.

"Everyone deserved that moment for a season of sacrifice and hard work."

Town now have a chance to cap the season with the League One title in Sunday's finale, heading to Fleetwood and hoping leaders Plymouth slip up at Port Vale.

Asked to rank the season in terms of his career, Chaplin said: "I’ll tell you for certain where this season ranks after this weekend, but it’s right up there and probably the best I’ve had.

"It’s been incredible, right from the get-go. From the first day of the season and pre-season it’s been a memorable one and probably the best I’ve had."
