Ipswich Witches 57 Sheffield Tigers 35

IPSWICH ‘Sackers’ Witches made a great start to their Premier Challenge Trophy hopes with a super performance against Sheffield Tigers at Foxhall Stadium. With a heavy shower before the start of heat two making conditions difficult throughout, the Witches still attacked the track with real gusto to leave their Yorkshire visitors well beaten. Every Witch played their part, with Mildenhall teenager Stefan Nielsen impressive and Dakota North racing to his first-ever maximum in Witches colours.
