Ipswich Witches face Leicester Lions at Foxhall in a match marking Ipswich's 75th anniversary, featuring vintage-bike racing, historic race-jacket displays and former riders. Ipswich will be without injured captain and club legend Scott Nicholls, with former favorite Adam Ellis stepping in as a guest rider. Nicholls hopes to return before the season ends and believes the reigning Premiership champions could benefit from entering the play-offs as underdogs.

Ipswich Witches drew 45-45 with Leicester Lions in the first leg of the Premiership Knockout Cup Final at Foxhall. Danny King scored 12 points for Ipswich, while Leicester reserve Drew Kemp topped the meeting with 15 points. Ipswich must win the second leg at Leicester's Hydroscand Arena on Thursday to claim the trophy, with King saying the team's frustration will motivate them.
