Last updated : 14 July 2004 By Covsupport
Coventry City Ladies have been forced to apply to the FA to reverse their opening two home games against Tranmere and Lincoln City after being unable to secure the use of their Coventry Sphinx FC home due to cricket matches.
Ladies 1st Team Secretary Kev Monks said: " After consulting Vice Chairman Martin Igoe and manager Mark Phillips,we have decided that it would be best if we applied to have the fixtures reversed. "It is not something we really wanted to do as our players will have three away games on the trot,but such is life".

Coventry City have announced two home friendlies with a possible third. First team manager Mark Phillips said that the first would be against Bristol Rovers on August 1, with a game against Stafford Rangers a week later. He was looking at a game on July 25th with either Gloucester or Everton but at this moment in time he was not sure who the opponents would be as Everton are also pencilled in for the Umbro Cup. The venue for these games will be announced nearer the time.
