Pob 545 Posted September 7, 2016 Taken form the Witches website The ‘Tru7.com’ Witches are back in action at Foxhall on Thursday as they take on the Sheffield Tigers in a vital Premier League clash (7.30pm). The Witches have not been in action for three weeks since their annihilation of Workington at Foxhall with the away meeting at Redcar rained-off. Since then the play-off picture has become a little clearer as it looks like a shootout for the final two places between Sheffield, Peterborough, Workington and the Witches. A win for the Witches is imperative if they wish to keep their play-off hopes alive with the added importance of making sure the Tigers pick up nothing at Foxhall. The home side are at full strength for the clash. A win for the away side would all but confirm their spot in the end of season shoot-out but they will have to do better than their previous visit to Suffolk earlier in the season as they were defeated 51-39 in the League Cup. The Yorkshire side are led by local legend Simon Stead with Jason Garrity and Kyle Howarth providing support although there are injury doubts over Garrity and teammate Dimitri Berge ahead of Thursday's meeting. British under-21 champion Josh Bates will also be in action for the away side on what promises to be a thrilling night of action. Team Manager Ritchie Hawkins says the break for the team has been frustrating but believes the riders will be ready for Thursday's test. "We got on a good run before the break at home, so to have a three week break wasn't ideal but that is the way of the world at the moment," said Hawkins. "Luckily most of the boys have been racing in a lot of meetings and have been busy riding so they haven't had much of a break like we have as a team. "It's quite simple what we need; we need two wins this week and we need to win by more than six against Sheffield to stop them getting a point, anything less is not good enough." Hawkins says the team are in good enough form to grab the chance with both hands and make the play-offs with the pressure on the opposition to maintain their place in the top six. "It's time for them to stand up and be counted, they've got the opportunity to make the play-offs and we are in the form of a good play-off team so the opportunity is there for us to grab. We know what we have got to do we've just got to go out there and do it. "Sheffield and Peterborough are the two teams we can catch mathematically and they have both dropped down the table a bit so the pressure is on them to keep those spots. In contrast we were written off a long time ago by many . "The form we have been in at home I would expect us to beat anyone and we need to win by more than six it's quite simple. I'd expect us to beat them with a full strength team so we need to get that done and then move onto Redcar." Ipswich 'Tru7.com' Witches: 1. Danny King © 9.38 2. James Sarjeant 5.45 3.

Pob 545 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Anyou news if Garrity is going to be fit first this ? Edited September 7, 2016 by Pob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackadder 280 Posted September 7, 2016 From the Sheffield web site:- Dimitri (Berge) is still struggling with a leg injury but he’s going to be OK to ride, and Josh (Bates) is coming off his antibiotics now and is feeling much better. We’re still not sure whether Jason (Garrity) will be fit or not, but we’ll go there and give it our best to try and get a result. Ipswich are a strong side so it’s going to be difficult, but if everyone does their job then we’re capable of a good result. Heat-leader Jason Garrity remains a doubt with a hand injury which caused him to miss Sunday’s trip to Glasgow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,948 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Sheffield are in trouble, they're going to get battered here and at Rye. 40 points won't be enough for the play-offs. Edited September 7, 2016 by Morrissey Fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bezza 20 Posted September 8, 2016 I am expecting one or two the Witches to be a little rusty but I don't see Sheffield getting anything from tonight's meeting. To do so they will need a fit Garrity chipping in with 10+ - Do we know yet if he is riding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,068 Posted September 8, 2016 Well we shouldnt have to many issues against a weakened Sheffield if some of their boys are struggling with injury, plus Howarth never goes well at our place. Im going for a win by about 15 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im going for a win by about 15 points You joining the Massif tonight Gavan? Would be good to have your support in person. Good news is that Sue is planning to be there tonight and hopefully joining the Massif gathering. Has anyone got a helium tank to fill baboons with? Err, balloons not baboons, that would just be cruel, though the look on their faces would be amusing... I understand that "cake" may be the theme of the night, possibly....?
