Although the Suffolk side lost 53-37 on the night it was enough to see them through to the play-off semi-finals after their 26-point victory at Foxhall in the first leg.

"It was a professional performance on a tricky night led by Danny (King) who was superb really," said Hawkins. 

"They started better which I think boosted their morale but when we needed to we stepped it up another level. I always thought we had a lot more left in the tank and we used it when we needed to."

Ipswich Town, external boss Mick McCarthy couldn't hide his anguish after his side's 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

The Blues were booed off at fulltime after failing to score for the fourth game in a row.

"I thought the whole game was pretty turgid," said McCarthy. "It's disappointing again that we haven't created more and we've let our guard down (for the goal).

"Because we're not exactly playing great it just gets harder to really create anything. So it's a disappointing performance and a hugely disappointing result."
