SWINDON skipper Nick Morris vowed it’s far too early to get excited about Robins’ promising SGB Premiership start, following tonight’s 52-38 victory against Poole Pirates at Wimborne Road.

The Australian international starred for the Robins, dropping just one point from his five rides as Swindon gave themselves a head start by picking up four unexpected league points on the south coast.

A 14-point win leaves Robins joint top of the Premiership table with Leicester Lions after Simon Stead’s team picked up a point on the road at Somerset.

And while the win provided fans with plenty to be hopeful about, Morris insisted Robins must remain grounded ahead of tonight’s home fixture against King’s Lynn.

He said: “It’s early days, there’s a long way to go.

“We could’ve imagined winning the meeting.

“We always knew it was going to be tough coming to Poole.

“I don’t think we expected to do as good as we did though. The whole team performed well.

“All the way through the meeting we didn’t sit back. We kept banging the wins in with a no last places attitude.

“We managed to earn a big away win, we can’t complain with that.”

Morris started the night in strong form, recording an impressive heat one victory with David Bellego in support as Swindon opened the meeting with a handy 5-1.

Momentum stayed with Alun Rossiter’s troops throughout the large part of last night’s meeting as Morris recorded further wins in heats five, 11 and 15.

Morris said: “The meeting was perfect for me.

“The season has taken a while to get going. Now we’ve got a busy week ahead of us.

“It’s good to start this period with a strong result. Hopefully we can keep pushing on from here.

“When things work well they work well.

“All the boys had a good setup from the start, the whole team.

“When you’ve got the right setup and drop the clutch on time and pop out in front it makes things easier.

“It’s the perfect start for us, but we have another tough meeting tomorrow so we’ve got to keep this form up.”

Despite Poole riders praising track improvements during the early parts of this season, Morris failed to notice much difference between the Wimborne Road surface of last year to this season.

“It was the same old Poole to me,” said Morris.

“I can’t tell the difference.

“It’s still got big holes coming into the corners, but that’s Poole. It’s bumpy but it’s not dangerous.”
