WITCHES WILL FIGHT ON

IPSWICH chairman Richard Coleman says his side will give it everything in their title defence as they face ROWE Motor Oil Premiership leaders Belle Vue in the play-off semi-finals.

The Witches stage the first leg of the tie at Foxhall on Monday and Coleman knows it’s imperative that they build an advantage to take to Manchester for the return.

He said: “We go into the play-offs on a real high after a fantastic 48-42 win away to Leicester on Monday, which secured our spot.

“While we have had some ups and downs in recent weeks, it all starts from zero in the play-offs, and I know the team will be determined to make the most of home advantage as we bid to take the biggest lead possible to Belle Vue.

“Facing an Aces team featuring Brady Kurtz and Jason Doyle will be no easy task, but no fixture is easy when you get to this stage of the season.

“While Monday isn’t our regular race day, this is our most important meeting of the season so far, and I would urge all Witches fans to pack Foxhall and get behind the team on Monday.”
