Coventry Sphinx Manager Robbie Banks has said that his side did not get the result they wanted at Edgar Street on Monday.
Ten man Sphinx went down 6-1 to the reformed Hereford FC in front of a gate of 2,910 and Banks said: "Not the result we wanted but a good experience which hopefully we will learn and gain from.
"With a man sent off its always going to be tough at Edgar Street."
