THE STORY

The Ipswich ‘Tru7 Group’ Witches return to action at Foxhall on Thursday as they host the Oxford Spires in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership.

The two sides met at the Oxford Stadium last Thursday with both sides going into that fixture unbeaten, but it was the Witches who emerged victorious on the road to inflict a first defeat of the season on the Spires. That win continued Ipswich’s perfect start to 2024 with four wins from four so far.

The home team are at full strength for Thursday’s test against Oxford as they look to maintain their 100% record this season and a win would see them claim their first bonus point of the year after last week’s 48-42 away win against the Spires.

FROM THE BOSS

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

“It is great to be back at Foxhall after the disappointing rain-off a couple of weeks ago, we are all looking forward to our Mondays and Thursdays together after the start to the season we’ve had, and we are looking forward to this one.

“The start to the season has been as good as we could have hoped for, and I think a lot of that is down to the continuity we have got in the side from last season. The guys we have brought in know the club well. We had a great run at the end of last season, and we have carried on from there at the start of this season.

“I’m sure everyone is excited to welcome Oxford back; it has been a long time since we have seen them race at Ipswich and the bring a very solid side full of riders that know Foxhall well again. I think it is going to be a really tough test. Last Thursday at Oxford was really tight throughout and I’m sure it will be the same on Thursday and they will be coming to turn us over like we did at their place, and they are capable of doing that.”

THE SPIRES

Oxford have enjoyed a positive comeback to the top-flight, a league they have not raced in since 2007. The club currently sit top of the early table with three wins from four outings and have already tasted success on the road with a win at Birmingham earlier this month.

The visitors are without Lewis Kerr on Thursday after he broke his ankle in a crash last week against Ipswich with Scott Nicholls guesting in his absence. The Spires have also made an early team change bringing in former Ipswich rider Erik Riss to replace Nicolai Klindt in a move that will certainly raise some eyebrows.
