Swindon’s flaming June continues with vigour as the high flying Robins entertain Eastbourne in more Sky Sports Elite League action at the Abbey Stadium on Thursday, 12th June.
SWINDON were unable to collect their third victory of the week as they were defeated by seven points at Eastbourne.
Leigh Adams and James Wright contributed twenty seven of Swindon's fourty three points but received dissapointing support from the remainder of the side.
Swindon track an unchanged line up for their trip to Eastbourne on Saturday. The home side have drafted in replacements for Lewis Bridger and Simon Gustaffson, both of whom are competing in a World U21 qualifying round.
Joonas Kylmakorpi replaces Bridger whilst recently appointed club number 8 Tomas Suchanek slots into the reserve department.
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.
