SWINDON Robins’ season-opening home meeting against the Poole Pirates will take place on Easter Monday at 4.30pm after being rained off this evening.

Alun Rossiter’s side were geared up for a double-header against last season’s Elite League champions today – travelling down to Dorset for one meeting at 11am before hosting Poole at the Abbey at 7.30pm.

But both meetings have fallen foul of the weather, meaning that the Robins and the Pirates have rearranged their clash at Blunsdon for Monday afternoon.
