THE EASTBOURNE management have confirmed that Lee Richardson WILL ride in tonight's Elite league match after the hand injury he picked up in Poland on Thursday proved to be less serious than first feared.
Club no.8 Brent Werner and Newport's Nick Simmons fill the Eastbourne reserve department. Richardson slots into the number three position but the Eagles will be using guest riders for their absent reserve pairing of Simon Gustafsson and James Brundle.
