IPSWICH will intend to hustle Indian Gymkhana out of their stride when the two sides meet in Osterley on Sunday.
With a new-found spring in their step the Henley Road side is desperate to keep up the good work following the demolition of Bromley.
Victory lifted them off the bottom spot in Division Two of the English Hockey League, but skipper Asif Rais knows more results need to be achieved if they are to stay out of the relegation zone.
"Everyone wanted to beat Bromley and the whole side was hungry for it," he said today.
You may also want to watch:
"Jon Cuff and Andy Cook hustled like mad against Bromley and if they do the same on Sunday, we will definitely unsettle our skilful opponents.
"However, one of our problems is that we can't sustain possession long enough to kill off the opposition and that's something we'll be working on."
