Coventry Speedway: Bees head for Poole in Cup action.

The Buildbase Bees will be unchanged from Monday's abandoned match at Belle Vue when they travel to Poole for the first leg of their crunch KO Cup semi-final replay on Wednesday.

Holders Coventry drew 45-45 both home and away with the Pirates last month, and were within a lap or so of knocking out the Elite League title favourites on their own circuit before Chris Harris suffered mechanical problems and was overhauled in the last race by Chris Holder.
The 90-90 outcome means a complete replay, with Poole this time staging the first leg. The date for the return fixture at Brandon has yet to be decided.

The latest on Coventry's injured riders is that Simon Stead was due for laser treatment on Tuesday as he bids to speed up his recovery from a broken collarbone, but he will definitely be out for the rest of the week.
It also appears likely that Robbie Kessler will be ruled out for the remainder of the season as he sustained ligament damage in his arm - which already contained a plate from a previous injury - as well as neck problems in the horrific crash with Stead at Brandon last month.

Bees will call up their No.8 Ben Barker whenever he is available, and have also booked club asset Josh Auty to ride at reserve against Swindon on Friday when Barker has a commitment with his Premier League club Stoke.

The rider-replacement facility continues to be in operation for Stead, with all riders except Hans Andersen eligible for an extra outing.
It will be the Buildbase Bees' fifth trip to Poole this season, and whilst last month's draw was their best result at Wimborne Road so far in 2008, they will still have a positive approach to Wednesday's meeting.

Manager Peter Oakes said: "I don't believe in setting targets for Knockout Cup matches, because if you do set a target and you don't reach it then you are low. We're going there to try and win.
"If you set a target you either become too complacent and confident if you exceed it, or psychologically destroyed if you don't reach it."

POOLE:
Chris Holder, Magnus Zetterstrom, Bjarne Pedersen, Adam Skornicki, Davey Watt, Freddie Eriksson, Daniel Davidsson.

BUILDBASE BEES:
Hans Andersen, Simon Stead R/R, Chris Harris, Billy Janniro, Olly Allen, Ben Barker, Filip Sitera.
