The Ipswich Witches are back in Premiership action again tonight as they head to Manchester to take on the Belle Vue Aces.

The Witches suffered a disappointing night at Foxhall last time out as they were beaten by Wolverhampton, 51-39, on Thursday.

The new week gives the Suffolk side the opportunity to bounce back with two fixtures on the road and after two defeats on home shale already this season, team manager Ritchie Hawkins knows his side need to pick up some points on their travels.

The Witches are back to full strength as Keynan Rew returns to the team.

Ipswich have already been beaten 41-49 by the Aces at home this season so the aggregate bonus point may seem like a tall order, but they head to the National Speedway Stadium looking to react positively to last week's home defeat.

Hawkins said: "We have already lost at home to Belle Vue so there is no bonus point coming into play, we go there with a free hit to try and win the meeting, there is nothing to defend if you like.

"We are going there to try and win the meeting and the boys will enjoy riding that track. It is a great track to go to as a speedway rider.

"In a sense we can go there, relax, enjoy it and race our nuts off, and we will see what everyone is all about.

“We did plenty of meetings there last year and went there enough times and we need to use that experience to help each other.

"At some point, like we said the other week, it is another track we are going to have to go well at, at some point.

"We are at the stage where we can’t afford to drop too many points so we need to go there looking for a win and a win there would make up for our last home defeat against Wolves.

"I’m pleased we will be a full one to seven on Monday, there is no R/R and we will look to make the most of that.”
