PIRATES' clash with Elite League rivals Swindon at the Abbey Stadium has been postponed.

The clash had been due to start at 5pm but with the track already wet and more rain forecast, Robins bosses made an early decision.

The fixture has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 14, the same night that Poole reserve Adam Ellis is due to contest the British under-21 final.

Any tickets purchased in advance for today's fixture will be refunded.

Pirates launched their Elite League title defence with a 61-31 hammering of Swindon on Good Friday.
