Speedway: Ipswich look to make it six wins in a row as they eye top four finish
Witches must make it six wins in a row if their play-off hopes are to remain alive
The Ipswich Witches travel to Wolverhampton today for their Premiership match.
Witches had an unexpected week off last week, after their fixture away at King’s Lynn was called off by the hosts, who were ‘unable to field a competitive team’ for the meeting.
Ipswich head to the West Midlands in good form, having won their last five.
It's a run that's given the club an outside shot at the top four, but team manager Ritchie Hawkins knows his side must make it six wins in a row if the play-off hopes are to remain alive.
Ipswich take a four-point lead to the Ladbroke Stadium having won 47-43 at Foxhall in July with the aggregate bonus point up for grabs on Monday and the away side know they must collect all three points on offer in their quest for the top four.
They'll be using Jason Edwards as a guest for injured Rising Star Dan Thompson.
Ipswich Witches team manager Ritchie Hawkins shared his pre-match thoughts:
“We are all looking forward to getting back on track on Monday at Wolverhampton. We are in a good run of form with a run of victories, and we wanted to carry that on last week, but that opportunity was taken away from us. We look forward to Monday and we face a tough challenge."
