Three Previous FA Cup Meetings Between City And Northampton

Last updated : 01 November 2015 By CNS Staff

Saturday will be the third meeting between Coventry City and Northampton Town in the FA Cup.

None of the three ties have been played in Coventry and all three took place at Northampton’s former County Ground home.

The last time City played Northampton Town in the FA Cup was in a Third Round game in January 1990 which City, who were 11th in the top flight, lost 1-0 on a very wet day at the County Ground to a goal scored by Steve Berry.

The two previous times City have met in the FA Cup, City won 2-1 at Northampton with goals from Frank Bowden and Billy Lake in 1931 and in 1954, City won with a 80 yard shot from Roy Kirk which beat former City keeper Alf Wood.
