EASTBOURNE have drafted in Lubos Tomicek to complete their line-up for the home clash with Birmingham on Saturday.The Eagles are without a regular No.7 after Dawid Lampart's start permission was withdrawn, and they have permission to use No.8 Taylor Poole when available or a Premier League guest whilst they search for a full-time replacement.Eagles co-promoter Mike Bellerby said: "Birmingham came up to the Elite League in the winter and I'm sure all Eastbourne fans will be delighted as we are to see a new team at Arlington."We need to keep our momentum going. That will set us up for a run of away matches through April, which begins on Monday at Belle Vue."
