Coventry Sphinx Youth Team were beat 5-1 at home by Lichfield City tonight in a Midland Floodlit Youth League fixture.

At Sphinx Drive, Lichfield took the lead on in the seventh minute with a goal from close range and in the 25th minute, a low shot made it two.

Just over a minute later, a tap-in gave Lichfield a third goal and in the 37th minute, a firmly hit shot gave the visitors a 4-0 lead at the break.

Ross Knight pulled a goal back for Pete O'Brien's side in the 76th minute but a bad night was finished off in the 83rd minute when Lichfield's number 12 slipped the ball past the Sphinx keeper to send Sphinx to a 5-1 defeat.
