Swindon's Leigh Adams wants his first league title in 11 seasons with the club

Swindon Robins have confirmed they will face Coventry Bees in the Elite League play-off semi-finals later this month.

The Robins, who have won all four meetings against Coventry this year, were given their choice of opponents having finished top of the table.

"We ride the track [at Coventry] fairly well," Robins manager Alun Rossiter told BBC Wiltshire.

"Simon Stead is a former [Coventry] rider and the rest of the boys ride it really good."

Swindon will want to make amends after losing the 2007 play-off final against the Bees.

"I don't look at things as revenge but I'd like to put one over them," added Rossiter.

The first meeting is scheduled for the Brandon Stadium on Monday, 21 September with the return leg a week later.

Swindon finished top of the table for the first time since they were last crowned champions back in 1967.

"Bob Kilby, Martin Ashby, Barry Briggs were all my heroes but it's about time we had some new heroes. They guys can be heroes if they win the league," said Rossiter.
