Fozzie4388 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Comets Are Next Opponents For Witches Tuesday, 04 August 2015 20:30 The Ipswich 'Sackers' Witches welcome the Workington ‘Thomas Armstrong’ Comets to Foxhall on Thursday night for a Premier League fixture. Workington are one of four (possibly six) teams battling for two playoff spots and currently have eight points less than Ipswich but have four meetings in hand. With only six meetings left to complete Ipswich need to take points from every one to secure their place in that top six. Their cause isn't helped after Nico Covatti picked up a hand injury at the PL Fours on Sunday and Rohan Tungate is still serving a 21 day ban. Ex-Witch Richie Worrall has been booked to cover for Rohan and R/R will be used to cover Nico, giving Danny King an extra ride. Matt Wiliamson will be missing for Workington due to injury and Ben Morley will ride in his place. Apart from that they will field their usual team. Ipswich 'Sackers' Witches 1. Danny King © 9.49, 2. R/R. 3. Gino Manzares 5.44, 4. Cameron Heeps 6.04, 5. Richie Worrall (G), 6. Stefan Nielsen 4.34, 7. Ashley Morris 4.19 Team Manager: Phil Hilton Workington ‘Thomas Armstrong’ Comets 1. Ricky Wells 7.84, 2. Rusty Harrison 5.98, 3. Rene Bach © 7.55, 4. Kenneth Hansen 5.83, 5. Kyle Howarth 7.62, 6. Ben Morley (G) 3.00, 7. Matthew Wethers 4.09 Team Manager: Steve Whitehead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Isn't it pathetic that a local radio bloke releases team news before the club's own website. Well I think it is anyway. far too many teams wait for others to make press releases on there behalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Taken from the love speedway website Ipswich ‘Sackers’ Witches have been dealt a big blow in their race for the Premier League play-off spots after Nico Covatti was ruled out with a broken index finger on his left hand. The in-form number two rider joins the banned Rohan Tungate on the sidelines, after sustaining the injury in Sunday’s ill-fated and abandoned Premier Fours meeting at Peterborough, which also saw Newcastle and King’s Lynn rider Lewis Kerr flown to Addenbroke’s Hospital and placed in an induced coma after a bad accident. Former Witch Richie Worrall will fill in for Tungate at Foxhall, against fellow play-off chasers Workington on Thursday night, with rider replacement being used for Covatti, who was injured after a clash with Peterborough’s Ulrich Ostergaard. Aaron Summers will replace Covatti, who it is thought will be out for around three weeks, at Plymouth on Friday night, with the rider replacement facility being used to fill Tungate’s void. “Nico has broken the index finger on his left hand in three places,” said Witches’ director of speedway Chris Louis. “He was involved in a very big crash, but that has obviously been put into perspective after Lewis Kerr’s crash and the fact that he was placed into an induced coma.” Covatti was in stunning form at Foxhall last Thursday, earning paid 16 points in the big victory against Scunthorpe and his absence has come at a crucial time with the Witches occupying that final play-off spot. “It’s a massive blow without a doubt,” added Louis. “He has been our star rider of the year, obviously we have Danny King at number one, and his average has gone up from 4.19 to 7.55. “I thought he would be at seven or eight by this point, so he has done what I have expected.” The sixth-placed Witches are currently five points ahead of seventh-top Plymouth and a further three ahead of eight-placed Workington and Louis is anticipating an exciting end to the season. “It’s going to be really tight now,” explained Louis. “We are one of the in-form teams, even though we are still a bit shaky at home and I see it being a race between ourselves, Plymouth and Workington for sixth spot, although I don’t think Sheffield are clear in fifth yet, so there may be a couple of spots to fight for.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 At this stage, I am probably more concerned about Plymouth rather than Workington pipping us for 6th although both have fairly straightforward run ins. Thursday is now a must win and something out of Friday's meeting would be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 It'll be a 15-20 point win for the Witches. As much as the team tries they just can't do it away from home and that's why we will miss the playoffs Please prove me wrong for once this season!
