LAKESIDE and Poole meet again tonight in the return fixture at the Arena-Essex Raceway.

The Hammers slumped to defeat at Poole when they were beaten 54-38 in an Elite League match at Wimborne Road on Wednesday night.

But the Pirates do have an injury worry over Karol Zabik ahead of their return to Arena Essex Raceway.

He withdrew from his final programmed ride after taking a heavy fall during heat nine as the Pirates were heading for more maximum points.

The Hammers will have Chris Louis in their side as the Ipswich rider deputises for injured Andreas Jonsson. The meeting starts at 8pm.
