Speedway: Ipswich Witches lose to Belle Vue
They ride against Leicester on Thursday
The Ipswich Witches were beaten 55-35 at Belle Vue, leaving the Witches fifth in the Premiership table.
They sit two points behind Leicester - who they face on Thursday.
Witches team manager Ritchie Hawkins was disappointed with the defeat:
“I didn’t feel we were as far off as the scoreline suggests. We got ourselves in good positions at times and just made mistakes. They were very, very slight errors but the Belle Vue boys really took advantage and showed their home track knowledge.
“We’ve ridden here enough times now and certainly when we come back, we need to not make those mistakes again, because we’re going to get punished. We did last season and we have done again tonight."
Belle Vue’s win along with the aggregate point takes them back to the top of the Premiership table.
