ROBINS return to the scene of their best performance of the 2006 season so far tonight (7.30 pm start, live on Sky Sports 2).

Alun Rossiter's side are at Eastbourne Eagles, where they inflicted a 55-41 thrashing on the hosts at the end of April.

The only absentee from Robins' line-up this evening is Russian Renat Gafurov, still recovering from an injury in last weekend's round of World Team Cup fixtures on the continent.

Pole Adrian Miedzinski, a dominant force with 13 points in the previous meeting on the south coast, continues at No 3, with Ritchie Hawkins coming in at the reserve position of six.

Eastbourne have problems, although Adam Shields was meeting with Eagles officials at the Best Pairs at Blunsdon last night to decide whether he could ride tonight.

Shields has missed the last 10 Eastbourne meetings due to a broken pelvis, which he received in a crash in Poland at the end of April, was due to ride in yesterday's Welsh Open at Newport.
