Eastbourne Eagles 50 Swindon Robins 43 

"Strength in depth" still a problem for Rosco

 

Eastbourne put paid to Swindon's bid for a hat-trick of Elite League wins tonight despite a 17 point haul from Leigh Adams.

 

James Wright the only other Robins' rider who could hold his head up high with paid 13.

 

"With better support we should have won," commented a disappointed Robins' Team boss Alun Rossiter.

 

"Leigh and James were magnificent but we haven't enough strength in depth at the moment. It's a simple as that."
