Despite last night being a good one for Ipswich Town, there was one blow.

Tom Lawrence will be missing for the next two matches after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season. 

The Leicester City loanee was booked for dissent in the first half and will be unavailable for Saturday's match against Leeds, and the East Anglian derby the week after.

Town boss Mick McCarthy said: "We'll be missing a very, very good player and it's so unnecessary."

Ipswich Town captain Luke Chambers won high praise from manager Mick McCarthy after the club's 1-1 draw against Brighton last night.

Chambers had been a transfer target of fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest in January, but the 31-year-old remained at Portman Road and was on the scoresheet last night.

McCarthy said: "He's been brilliant, he's just shown what a really good player, good captain, good professional he is."

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy thought last night's 1-1 draw at Brighton was well-deserved, and said his team "showed some quality".

Luke Chambers scored early on for Town, before Tomer Hemed equalised from the spot.

McCarthy said: "We showed some quality, I thought the goal was good.

"For all their possession and play, I do believe their keeper's kept them in it."

Suffolk Police has said it is committed to tackling hate crimes in the county, following a spike in reported incidents last year.

Supt Paul Sharp was speaking after a 37% rise in reported hate crime in Suffolk in the three months after the EU Referendum vote, a figure reflected nationally.

Supt Sharp said: "There is no place in our society for any form of hate crime...and any excuse to anything as any kind of reason to try and justify that behaviour is completely wrong.

"In general, I think Suffolk is a really good place to live and we have tolerant, cohesive communities, but one victim in relation to hate crime is too many."

The issue of hate crime in the county could be even worse than figures suggest, the Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Racial Equality says.

Phanuel Mutumburi, business and operations manager, was commenting after it was revealed there was a 37% rise in the number of hate crimes reported to Suffolk Police in the three months after the EU Referendum.

He said: "These numbers are probably not reflective of the true picture because many other people that we are talking to are saying that they're not ready to come out about what is happening to them."

He picked up his 10th yellow card of the season in last night's 1-1 draw at Brighton and receives a two-game ban.

The Leicester loanee has scored eight of Ipswich's last 11 goals.

Lawrence will miss the Championship clash with Leeds this weekend and then the trip to Norfolk the following week.

There was a spike in hate crimes in Suffolk following the EU Referendum.

There were 123 incidents reported, which represents a 37% rise on the previous three months, according to figures compiled by the Press Association. 

The number is the highest in the county since recording began in April 2012.

In England and Wales, more than 14,000 offences were recorded between July and September, with 75% of police forces saying record levels of hate crimes were reported in the quarter following the referendum.

Police are appealing for information after two men were admitted to hospital in Cambridge with stab wounds.

Officers were called to Haverhill at about 23:20 last night, to reports of suspicious behaviour, including a possible altercation, in the Marlborough Court and Wellington Terrace area of the town.

No-one was found, but as they began preliminary inquiries, officers discovered from their colleagues in Cambridgeshire that two men, one in his late teens, the other in his mid-20s, had been admitted to Addenbrooke's Hospital with stab wounds.

Both men are in a serious but stable condition.

Midfielder Luke Hyam injured his knee in a pre-season friendly against Cambridge last year and suffered a further setback in October.

Within the last few hours, officials from Defra have arrived at a poultry farm near Redgrave where an outbreak of avian flu has been discovered.

Bridge Farm houses more than 20,000 birds in four chicken sheds - these birds will be culled over the next few days.

Defra says a 10 km (6 mile) temporary control zone has been installed around the farm close to the Norfolk/Suffolk border.

Up to 23,000 birds are to be destroyed after the disease is found at a poultry farm.
