YOU wouldn’t bet against Jake Witkowski reaching double figures on the goals front this weekend.

Witkowski (pictured) has started the season in blistering fashion for Deeside Dragons and his bumper haul of goals have helped the team to secure two triumphs from their two matches so far.

Next up is a third consecutive home match on Sunday, with Hull Jets providing the opposition at Deeside Leisure Centre (5.15pm).

Hull will need to keep close tabs on Witkowski, who has already helped himself to nine goals since the opening to the campaign.

He claimed a hat-trick in last weekend’s hard-fought 7-4 victory against Leeds Knights, which followed a six-goal haul in Dragons’ 12-2 outcome against Sheffield Scimitars.

At this early point of the campaign, Deeside sit in fifth place in the Moralee Division table with six points from their two wins to date and they are playing catch up as all of the other teams have played more games.

Solihull Barons currently top the table with 10 points from four games, with Widnes Wild in second and defending champions Blackburn Hawks in third – both on eight points apiece.

Blackburn wing their way to Hull Jets tomorrow, before they entertain Solihull Barons the following day.

Sunday’s other fixtures: Billingham v Widnes; Nottingham v Leeds; Telford v Sheffield. Tomorrow: Sheffield v Billingham.

There’s a weekend off for Deeside Dragons Seconds in the Laidler Division and they are next in action at Billingham on Sunday, October 4.

Tomorrow: Coventry v Sutton; Sheffield v Billingham; Widnes v Altrincham. Sunday: Bradford v Sheffield.
