An incredible match at Sphinx Drive ended with an injury time equaliser to see the points shared.


Coventry Sphinx got off ...to a good start with Jackson Downie driving in off the cross bar from outside the box in the 12th minute. Downie doubled the lead on 30 minutes with another long range drive and

Sphinx looked to be cruising. Rocester kept battling and got a goal back before the break on 41 minutes.

Half Time: Coventry Sphinx 2 Rocester 1.

Rocester soon equalised from the penalty spot after 50 minutes and Sphinx were shocked when Rocester took the lead on 54 minutes. Sphinx looked to be heading for defeat but they levelled the scores in the 84th minute after good work from debutant Revan allowed Harkin to finish from close range. It was now 3-3 but Rocester responded by going in front on 87 minutes. Surely game over but Sphinx kept going right to the end to snatch an equaliser with Revan providing the cross for Liam Cairns to head home in the 3rd minute of stoppage time.
