POOLE Pirates will kick off their Elite League title defence with a trip to last season’s championship rivals King’s Lynn.
After a two-legged Elite Shield showdown against the Stars, Pirates make the lengthy trek to the Norfolk Arena in pursuit of precious points to kick-start their league programme.
The stern test is followed by a derby double-header against Swindon on Good Friday with the Robins visiting Wimborne Road at 11am before heading up to Wiltshire for a return fixture on the same day.
