POSITIVE VIBES FOR WITCHES

IPSWICH promoter Chris Louis says he is fully positive for 2023 following decisions taken at last week’s AGM.

Louis is working on building the Witches’ line-up for next season after missing out in the play-off semi-finals this year, although they did gain some consolation by being crowned Premiership Pairs winners.

He said: “The points limit staying the same is right, we need to keep the league as competitive as possible and every opportunity to invite the top riders from the other leagues and the Grand Prix back to these shores is a good thing.

“Team building is going very well, and we are looking forward to making announcements in the coming week, so everything is going good.

“I think it is sensible to reduce the size of the Pairs competition. It is a competition we won so I am probably biased, but I thought to a degree it was successful and I am looking forward to trying to retain that title next year.”
