Ipswich, Argyle and Boro joy

By John Lyons

It proved a glory day for Ipswich, Plymouth and Stevenage as they clinched promotion.

The Tractor Boys hammered Exeter 6-0 to book their place in the Championship next season, while League One leaders Plymouth edged out Burton 1-0 at Home Park to join them.

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said: “It was a great performance, the whole 90 minutes. From when we got the first goal, we were everything I wanted us to be.”

In League Two, Stevenage got the Champagne corks popping by beating Grimsby 2-0.

On the flip side, Wigan were relegated from the Championship after a 1-1 draw at Reading, while Hartlepool beat Barrow but went down from League Two.
