WITCHES ACCEPT FAVOURITES TAG

IPSWICH No.1 Jason Doyle says the team accepts the mantle as favourites for the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership and are determined to deliver on track.

The Witches have made a stunning start to the season with their empathic KO Cup victory over Belle Vue, and they kick off their league campaign at Oxford next Thursday (April 3).

Doyle said: “The team we have this year, if everyone is fit and healthy by the end of the year, that will be a big chance for us to win the title. We’re coming in as favourites, the team that Chris (Louis) has put together is amazing.

“To bring Tom (Brennan) in is a massive bonus for us guys, we saw him when he guested for us last year and he did an amazing job. He wants to win like us boys do, and that’s the right mindset to be champions.

“The team we’ve had for the last few years, everyone knows their job. We don’t speak a lot in the pits when we’re racing because we already know what we have to do.

“It’s a job for us but as long as we can have some fun, that plays a role in winning the title also.”
