WET weather has again thwarted Pirates' attempts to get their season up and running.

Neil Middleditch's men had been due to begin their SGB Premiership campaign at Leicester tonight.

But with the Beaumont Park track already wet and the forecast unpromising, the decision was taken to postpone.

All six of Poole's fixtures so far this year have succumbed to poor weather, directly or indirectly.

Home and away league fixtures against Wolverhampton, the Knockout Cup double header with Somerset and the 70th anniversary meeting all failed to go ahead.

Pirates are due to host Belle Vue in the Premiership on Wednesday.
