Sphinx Beaten At The Death

Last updated : 27 July 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry Sphinx were beaten 3-2 by Cadbury Athletic at Sphinx Drive tonight.

In what was an excellent pre-season game, Sphinx should have been ahead when a Robbie Banks stunning shot crashed against the bat and came down over the line but was not picked up by the referee or assistant and they took the lead in the 33rd minute with a smart finish from Luke Downes.

Cadbury levelled in the 64th minute but three minutes later, Mitch Piggon finished well to put Sphinx back in front.

There was six minutes left when the visitors equalised for a second when a corner was headed in and two minutes later, a stunning shot flew into the net to send Sphinx to a 3-2 defeat.
