THE PREVIEW

The Witches host the first East Anglian derby of the season on Monday afternoon as they take on the King’s Lynn Stars at Foxhall in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership.

Ipswich go into the fixture in perfect form having won all seven fixtures raced in 2025, a run that sees them top of the early league table. The Suffolk side have hit at least 60 points in all three home fixtures so far this season, but their local rivals will be determined to put a stop to that run on derby day.

‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is very much the mantra from team manager Ritchie Hawkins at the moment and the riding order stays the same for an eighth fixture in a row. The bank holiday derbies are the most highly anticipated on the fixture list for many supporters and it promises to be a big crowd at Foxhall on Monday afternoon with the Witches looking to get one over on their Norfolk rivals and continue their fine start to the campaign.

MANAGER’S NOTES

Ipswich ‘Tru7 Group’ Witches team manager Ritchie Hawkins gives us his pre-match thoughts…

“Back together after 10 days off and the season has gone perfectly so far so we can’t wait to get back on track. Bank holiday meetings at Ipswich are always a great atmosphere with a big crowd and the weather looks brilliant. It’s a local derby and the atmosphere is always brilliant in these meetings and I’m sure everyone involved in the club is really looking forward to this one.

“Bar Tom who is new to the side this year, everyone in the team already knows how important these meetings are to everyone. These boys have got an outstanding record in recent years against King’s Lynn and the way things are going we will be looking to carry that on this year.

“We have got seven riders who love being part of the club and they are all in on our values. Everyone in the pits is working together to achieve our goals. That in itself is enough and breeds the loyalty and commitment we want, and I don’t think anyone can question that we have had that over the last few seasons.

“We say every year that the daytime bank holiday meetings are tricky for us and that is mainly down to it being different preparing the track for an evening meeting, to a hot bank holiday day meeting. Track conditions are normally slightly different which can catch us out and maybe even things up a bit and take a bit of that home advantage away. I know in our last meeting here on a bank holiday we dealt with that superbly well and with the experience we have I would like to think it won’t be too much of a factor and it will be something we handle well.”

KING’S LYNN STARS

The Stars have found life tough in the top-flight in recent years and haven’t made the play-offs since 2018. The new campaign started brightly with home and away success against Oxford in the Knockout Cup to set up a semi-final clash against the Witches later in the season. However, their start to the league season has been somewhat trickier with three defeats from five outings so far including two heavy defeats on the road.

There are some fresh faces in the King’s Lynn side for 2025 with Chris Harris, Richard Lawson, Ben Cook and Ashton Boughen replacing Ben Basso, Patryk Wojdylo, Lewis Kerr and Anders Rowe. Harris has been piling up the points from reserve so far this year but now finds himself at number one in the new set of averages with captain Nicolai Klindt dropping to reserve. Rider replacement is in operation at number two for Ben Cook who has a broken radius and scaphoid.

LAST TIME WE MET IN SUFFOLK

Ipswich last welcomed King’s Lynn to Foxhall in August of 2024 and it was a thumping 57-33 victory for the home side. The visitors were without three of their regular side whilst the Witches had Scott Nicholls guesting for Jason Doyle. The Norfolk strugglers took a shock early lead and were level after six heats, but it was one way traffic from there as Ipswich eased to yet another win against their local rivals, picking up the aggregate bonus point in the process. Emil Sayfutdinov top scored with a faultless 12-point maximum.
