Last updated : 05 November 2015 By MS

Coventry Sphinx are through in the FA Vase after coming from three goals down to win 6-4 at Black Country Rangers.

Luke Hopkins had former Coventry City youngster Ricky Fletcher back in defence for a Sphinx side which conceded a goal in the 58th minute of a replay in Cradley.

Eight minutes from time, Black Country Rangers scored a second and a third three minutes later before Rich Blythe converted an 87th minute penalty and Sphinx scored a second goal from Mitch Thomson and in stoppage time, Ryan Quinn equalised to send the game in to extra time.

On 100 minutes, a screamer from Ryan Quinn flew in to put Sphinx 4-3 up before the home side levelled to make it 4-4 at the break.

Sphinx scored twice with Rich Blythe and Trovarne Thompson on the scoresheet in the second period of extra time to see Sphinx take a 6-4 win and book their place in Round Two which sees a home tie against Brocton.
