SWINDON returned to the top of Sky Sports Elite League in emphatic fashion with a 50-40 win at Eastbourne tonight.
The Robins gained revenge for last month's nine-point defeat at Arlington Stadium with a high-quality performance on the south coast, taking over at the summit as Wolverhampton saw their match rained off.
Skipper Leigh Adams (13) and Travis McGowan (paid 13)headlined the triumph, while Matej Zagar and Ryan Fisher (both paid 12) also delivered superb displays.
