I hadn't really formed an opinion on the loss of the bonus (aggregate - whatever) point, but the loss of it has made this meeting feel less important. Apart from Ipswich and Lakeside, has any team won away this season yet? Seems to be the home team is winning each meeting, regardless of who the favourites are, which takes the shine off the return leg a little. Still, teams are as follows:
Swindon:
1..L Adams
2..J Wright
3..T Batchelor
4..M Korneliussen
5..T McGowan
6..C Gathercole
7..Seb Alden
Lakeside:
1..D Watt (guest)
2..L Lanham
3..A Shields
4..J Kylmakorpi
5..J Davidsson
6..R Kling
7..L Tomicek
Fully expect Swindon to win this one, but I'm hoping to be proved wrong.

On paper this should really be a good close contest , but will Watt, Shield and Davidsson flatter to deceive again? Ricky Kling could be key - but hey I'm going for an away victory...
Swindon 43 - Lakeside 47...

I think Lakeside will be lucky to win at Swindon. Leigh and Mads will be on top form, backed up by Alden at reserve, with all the others making a useful contribution.
Swindon are undefeated at home this season, and Davey Watt hasn't hit the same heights as he did last year. Lakeside will need everyone to pull together for this one, and I'm predicting a scoreline around 50-40.

McGowan's only ever been worthwhile when paired with a class act. And in Ht 13 that classiest of acts Leigh Adams shepherded him home for a win. If I were Rosco I'd be changing my pairings. McGowan would go to No 2, Wright to No 4 and Korneliussen to No 5.
The final result was a comfortable win for the Robins (53:40). This season's usual suspects, Adams and Korneliussen scored well again and this time they were joined by Batchelor. You know, Swindon look to have a very useful team this season - Rosco and Co look to have done some very shrewd team building.
Lakeside are missing Andreas Jonsson and were poor.

Lakeside are missing Andreas Jonsson and were poor. with the inclusion of jonsson they would have obviously been much stronger over the last two evenings,but i still fail to see why so many people rave over their chances this season.eastbourne are without doubt the best team in the elite this season. |
