Away Woe Continues With 12 Point Defeat

The Witches are still searching for their first away point of the year after a 12 point defeat at Arlington to the Eastbourne Eagles tonight. It was looking good for the Witches when they secured a 5-1 in heat three to take the lead but the home side proved to strong and with Piotr Swiderski enduring a poor night with a retirement and a fall the Witches fell short.

Further news and reaction to follow.
