PIRATES' planned visit to Swindon on Thursday, April 14 has been postponed.

The Elite League clash had been inked in for Easter Sunday but was pushed back due to inclement weather.

However, the fixture will now take place at a later date.

Both Krzysztof Buczkowski and Adam Ellis would have been unavailable on April 14 due to other commitments.

Buczkowski is due to ride in the Polish Golden Helmet while Ellis is set to contest the British under-21 final.

Poole chief Matt Ford told the club website: "We have agreed with Swindon to find a better alternative date in the summer."
