Ipswich Witches will start their 2017 season at home to Sheffield on a Saturday night at Foxhall Stadium.

The Tigers will open the Witches Championship season on Saturday, March 25, before the Witches embark on a home and away clash with Berwick Bandits in the knock-out cup the week after.

It’s a long Championship season for the Witches who will race each opponent home and away twice.

Redcar come to Foxhall on two more Saturday night meetings, while Sheffield are the opponents on an off-night Wednesday, May 17.

Other than that, it’s Thursday nights on almost a regular basis for the Witches, who have two practise days on March 20 and 22.
