Maddison says scoring was a unique experience.

"That’s the first derby I’ve played in and what a derby it is," he said.

"To get the winning goal is such a special feeling and one I won’t forget.

"The fans turned out in their numbers today and honestly it gives you that extra 1 or 2%. Even if it’s at the end, if you hear them roaring you on you get that extra spurt from somewhere. They were special today.”

Dave Prentis writes: "This is an extremely short-sighted move by the Norfolk constabulary.

"Police community support officers play a vital role maintaining police and community relations.

"They also tackle low-level crime and anti-social behaviour, which would otherwise fall to hard-pressed police officers to deal with.

"Ruthless budget cuts are forcing police forces to make unsavoury choices, which damage public confidence and coerce already over-burdened police staff into taking on yet more responsibilities.

Ipswich Town could have both striker Joe Garner (pictured) and midfielder Tom Adeyemi back for Sunday's Championship fixture with Norwich City at Portman Road.

Garner missed last weekend's 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United with a knee injury, while Adeyemi has missed the last two matches with a hamstring problem.

Manager Mick McCarthy believes the latter is in with a good chance of featuring against his former club this weekend, and remains hopeful on Garner, who has clearly impressed him since joining the Blues from Rangers.

"He's trained today with the physios," said McCarthy. "He's done what he needed to do in order to be out training with his teammates tomorrow, to be in with a chance of playing on Sunday.

"He's a really important player for us. I thought he would be when I signed him, but as a footballer he is better than what I thought he was, which is always nice."

Work is to begin on finding ways to connect the new Norwich Northern Distributor Road to the A 47 West of Norwich.
