Last updated : 21 October 2015 By CNS Sport

Coventry City are out of the Birmingham Senior Cup after a 2-1 First Round defeat at Stratford Town.

The Sky Blues fielded an U21's side and were a goal down after 105 seconds when Edwin Ahenkorah netted after being put through.

George Thomas levelled for City in the 15th minute with a penalty following a handball and the game, watched by Tony Mowbray, Steve Ogrizovic and Jamie Clapham in a crowd of 261, looked set to go to penalties.

However, seven minutes from time, Michael McGrath blasted home following a corner to knock City out at the first attempt.
