The Ipswich Witches host the Sheffield Tigers tonight.

The Witches will be looking for a win, after a run of three losses, which have seen them drop out of the Premiership top four.

Monday sees a change to the riding order with Keynan Rew now at reserve and Danyon Hume moving up to number two.

Witches team manager Ritchie Hawkins says he's team's staying focused:

“We go into Monday after a disappointing run of results, but everyone is very determined to turn that around. We need to win on Monday and there is a change in the riding order which will hopefully give a few of the boys a boost.

"Even though things are tough we are on our home track, and we need to pull it together. We have had too many slip-ups already and we need to win.

“Keynan goes to reserve mainly due to Knockout Cup results not counting towards his average and a few meetings at reserve won’t do him any harm and will hopefully give him a boost.

"We know how good he can go around Ipswich so that gives us another strong option at reserve now. "Danyon is rewarded for the progress he is making this season and it certainly won’t faze him being in the main body of the team. I’m pleased for him to see his hard work paying off.

“We need to start better than we did at Leicester. We want to start well and get everyone’s heads back up and give all our supporters a boost and show everyone what we are all about.”
