Provisional dates have been announced for the Sports Insure Premiership Grand Final next week.

Ipswich are the first team to confirm their place in the Final after their dramatic aggregate win over Belle Vue, and the Witches are now awaiting news of their opponents in the decider.

The other semi-final sees Sheffield in the driving seat after a 50-40 first leg win at Wolverhampton, and that tie will be completed at Owlerton on Thursday.

Ipswich’s home date for the Final will be dependent on their opposition: should the Witches be facing Sheffield, they will host the first leg at Foxhall on Monday October 2, with the return at Owlerton on Thursday October 5.

If Wolverhampton overturn their deficit at Sheffield this week, they would host Ipswich next Monday with the Witches then staging the second leg on Thursday.
