WITCHES TARGET IMPROVEMENT

IPSWICH promoter Chris Louis is urging his side to step things up at Foxhall when they return home in the Premiership play-offs.

The Witches remain top of the table after Thursday’s narrow 46-44 victory over bottom club Peterborough, who once again forced a last-heat decider in Suffolk.

Louis said: “It was a very unconvincing win. Track conditions were not what we have had most of the year, it was quite heavy after rain – but at the end of the day, we are heading towards winter and October, and that is how tracks get.

“We need to be better than we were, but once again we did enough to grab all three points. We will have to better than that come September 29 whoever the opposition is.

“You have only got to look at the league table and all four teams are very evenly matched, so it won’t be an easy meeting whoever you meet, so we will need to improve for sure.”
