DAN HEADING FOR NUMBER TEN
New signing Dan Gilkes will be making his tenth team appearance at Wimborne Road when the tapes go up on Good Friday (6.30pm).
A heat three win on September 12th for the Pirates took Nicolai Klindt's Poole career points total to 500.
Riding in the meeting against King's Lynn, Klindt led home the Stars' pairing of Erik Riss and Niklas Porsing, who were split by Josh Grajczonek.
It was the Dane's 59th official meeting (ie not a challenge designated fixture) as an official Pirate and he has gone on to move his total to 542 points (these do not include bonus points). Klindt achieved his first 100 points in eleven matches, whilst his second century was marked in his 24th. Century number three was a further 12 matches away, whilst his 400th point was in match 48 as a Pirate.
His quickest hundred, in terms of rides, was his charge to 500 which took just 53 rides, significantly faster than his second century which was achieved over 61 races, one more than his maiden Poole century.
