Lewis Bridger warmed up for Eastbourne Eagles' re-staged Craven Shield tie in style by beating the British champion.
The Eagles teenager pipped Chris Harris and his Coventry colleague Billy Janniro to win the Nick Simmons Testimonial at Newport yesterday.
Heavy evening rain washed out Saturday's season-opener for Eagles against Swindon with a big crowd already gathering at Arlington.
Ref Frank Ebdon called the Craven Shield meeting off at 7.40pm and it was immediately re-arranged for tonight (7.30pm).
Supporters left disappointed on Saturday can use their re-admission tickets for any of the next three home fixtures. There is no charge for parking at tonight's meeting.
Eagles: Nicholls, Bridger, Richardson, Woodward, Kennett, Gustafsson, Brundle.
Swindon: Adams, Korneliusson, Batchelor, Wright, McGowan, Pijper, Alden.
