Former Speedway GP world champion Jason Doyle raced to 10 points for Ipswich as they ended their 27-year quest for a British league title with victory in the Rowe Motor Oil Premiership Grand Final against Leicester on Thursday.
The Witches last lifted the old Elite League title in 1998 with an iconic side led by Swedish legend Tony Rickardsson, Polish great Tomasz Gollob, former world No.3 Chris Louis and seven-time British champion Scott Nicholls.
After racing to a 47-43 victory away to the Lions in Monday’s first leg, Ipswich won the decider 46-43 at Foxhall, with Doyle leading the way and Emil Sayfutdinov backing him up on nine paid 11 points.
Great Britain star Tom Brennan and Aussie racer Keynan Rew both weighed in with seven paid eight apiece, while skipper Danny King scored six paid seven and GB Under-21 racer Dan Thompson scored five paid seven.
Leicester top gun Max Fricke starred for the Lions on 13, while Aussie international Ryan Douglas notched nine.
