IPSWICH Witches will field Dudley’s Ashley Morris as a guest rider for their clash at Somerset in the Knockout Cup tonight with the 18-year-old replacing Cameron Heeps, who aggravated a shoulder injury in last night’s home defeat to Rye House.

The Witches will also be without Dakota North, who is competing in the World Under-21 semi-finals in Italy, and will utilise the rider replacement rule as they look to defend their six-point lead taken from the first-leg at Foxhall.

Somerset will be without Claus Vissing who suffered a puncture and deflated lung in his team’s 48-45 defeat at Sheffield last night.

Tapes go up at Somerset at 7.30pm
