POOLE boss Neil Middleditch has taken a swipe at Swede Antonio Lindback for sitting out Thursday''s Knockout Cup semi-final with Belle Vue at Wimborne Road.

Lindback has knee problems but raced in the Polish Grand Prix at the weekend.

Said Middleditch: ''What surprises me is that Antonio was prepared to risk the knee during the Grand Prix, but declined to race for Poole in what is a very important match.''
