What a result - get in the Witches! As solid a team performance you could hope for away from home. Take bow boys.

Expecting a Monarchs/Comets final with Edinburgh to run out overall winners.

Hoping for at least a point for the Witches.

Hopefully there will be the unexpected break in the weather just as happened last night. If so and conditions are not lottery like then it will be a good battle. Lawson and Summers looked on it last night and Wilko and Graversen looked more determined than I remember from previous recent visits ti Foxhall so Id expect the home fans to be confident. I think the Witches will be up for it though and think we can sneak something out of this one.

is it already off then??

Shame the rain came as it had been a decent meeting.Done well to get in 12 heats despite a few stoppages. Was definately the right decision regardless of the score. Lap 1 of heat 12 was like a normal heat but by the end of the race they were starting to aquaplane and tge time was nearly 6 seconds slower. Rain was lashing down and hasnt stopped since. The Witches just about deserved all 3 points. Very impressed with Lawson - he has stepped up a notch for sure. Must be an outside bet for a World Cup place IMO.

Nearly didnt bother when it rained at 7. Track looks tip top!! Remarkable really. Just need to get a wriggle on whilst its dry. Cmon the Witches - 53-39.

Passed the stadium at about 5.25. A few small puddles on the entrance drive but nothing bad and not currently raining so positive at the moment. Not seen any sun yet though Beerhut!

Been raining in woodbridge for the last hour and now getting heavier. Will be going past the stadium in next few minutes so will provide an update soon.

Unfortunately looks bleak for tonight and tomorrow. Never good to have to look at rearrangements but even worse given the problem of race night clash.

Need a big night from Rohan to take the pressure off the walking wounded and to kickstart his season. Hoping for a win by 12+

and thats the catch 22 situation. We should be applauding a promoter who sticks to the limits and budgets as the sport is stretched enough financially. However that same promoter knows that those extra payments could mean a more competitive side resulting in gaining(or at least not losing) 100s on the gate so by playing by the rules he losing out both on and off the track.

Whatever the rules/regs/agreements state about payments to be made doesnt mean that is what happens whether its air fares signing on fees points money or anything else. wink

have you not seen the new thread in the general section - "jenga in use of the 's' word row!

A Bandits mid meeting blip?? Surely you mean the mid meeting blip from the Witches cost us the match. We were 4 up after 7 but the 8 down after 10.

@#*&%!!! So close although the result is always secondary when any of the boys end up injured let alone 2. Well done to the Bandits.

Really nasty -it looks like something from a monster horror make up show! I wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.

Well the Witches put in an excellent start and a decent end to our visit to the Monarchs to show we can be competitive anywhere. Just need more of the same and to cut out the disasterous middle to be in the mix for a win for this one. Sounds easy but of course pulling it off will take a big determined effort where all 7 contribute. I think the boys can do it and will plump for a 2 point Witches win.

Thanks to the Monarchs Chatzone for the updates. Excellent first 5 heats for the Witches and decent last 5 heats. Unfortunately the 5 in the middle count towards the score too! When 3 of the side fail to beat an opponent a 20 point defeat is as good as you can expect. Therein is the positive - the Witches are capable of returning to a place like Edinburgh and running them close or even pulling out a shock if they all get it right on the night. Well done to the Monarchs - a fine win for a fine side. Finally - sounded nasty for Fox. Any early news? Hopefully not too serious.

A really good performance from the Witches last night should have rebuilt a little confidence and belief. I think it will take something unusual to happen for the Monarchs to drop any points today or in any home match this season in fact. If we can get within 12 I think it would be a decent effort. As far as I know Ritchie H will be on his way but theres still 7 hours for things to change!!

Im sure many will see the fact that the Panthers lost Dryml when already using R/R and put the result down to that. In reality the Witches looked sharp from 1 to 7 and the score didnt flatter us. With a couple of tapes offences and falls along with being on a 5-1 when Dryml fell that as often happens turned into a 3-3 in the re run it could easily have been 60+. Plenty to be positive about not least of which was Cams superb night. Heart in mouth time when he hit the deck in 15 - didnt look good for his wrist. Fingers crossed that there will be no delayed reaction.

Ritchie H gas just taken a bit of a tumble in heat 12 at Foxhall. Up and OK but you never know what old injury may flare up overnight! wink

Little Johnnys year 4 team played in blue against a team in red - scored 1 conceded 5 - hope its not an omen!!

Beautiful morning here in Suffolk - warm sun, still air,blue sky. My little Johnny has his first school football match today so hoping for a double win. C'mon the year 4 team and the Witches!!

whilst I dont see a win I agree we are a much better side than as is currently claimed by some. Some poor form but when/if we get it right we will be a match for anyone. This weekend may be too early for that type of performance but Im confident it will come.
