SWINDON Robins trip to Lakeside Hammers this evening has been postponed.

The Essex club tweeted at lunchtime today, which has since been deleted, that there had been no rain, the track was dry and that there was no rain forecast.

However, a sudden heavy downpour late this afternoon has left the Raceway Arena track flooded forcing Lakeside no option but to call the meet off.

The two side were due to meet last night, however, Swindon made an early call to postpone the fixture with heavy rain forecasted for the evening.

The Elite League clash at Lakeside will now take place on Friday, July 22.
