Shock victory for Eastbourne
EASTBOURNE pulled off a shock 49-43 win at Poole to lift the Elite League Shield.
Young reserve Simon Gustafsson, the son of Swedish legend Henka, was their top scorer with 14 in a stunning all-round display.
Chris Holder was top scorer for the injury-hit Pirates with 12.
Poole boss Neil Middleditch said: “We were no match for Eastbourne. They were the better side on the night and fully deserved to win.”
