Coventry Sphinx snatched a last gasp win at Whitnash Town.

In a quickly arranged game at Heathcote Road, Luke Hopkins brought over a strong side to face Whitnash from the Coventry Alliance Premier Division.

It was Whitnash who took the lead in the 21st minute with a neat finish with a goal which seemed to spark Sphinx into life.

A ten minute spell of pressure and Sphinx were level in the 39th minute when following a corner, Luke Williams blasted home.

Eleven minutes into the second half and Sphinx took a 2-1 lead when Ricki Cutting dispossessed the home keeper and fired into the net from an acute angle.

Two minutes later, it was three when a cross went in off a defender.

The Coventry Charity Cup champions came back in the 81st minute with a lob and six minutes later, Whitnash were level when one of their attackers was left unmarked to make it 3-3.

Sphinx went up the other end and won a corner. The flag kick went to the far post and there was Kiam Galdings to head in and give Sphinx a 4-3 win.
