Sphinx Go For Glory Again

Last updated : 07 March 2008 By Covsupport
Coventry Sphinx play the biggest game in their Cup history when they take on Kirkham & Wesham in the FA Vase Sixth Round Replay at Sphinx Drive tomorrow.

Paul Charnley's side drew 3-3 after extra time at the home of the Blackpool based side last Saturday and are expecting to be watched by a gate well in excess of a 1,000, a figure which undoubtedly would have been added to by at least a third if the Sky Blues were not at home to Norwich.

Tickets are still available for the game priced at an FA set £6 for adults and £3 concessions. Those going to the game are asked to consider car-sharing or using public transport as the club's normally ample car parks are expected to be filled very quickly.




Charnley has urged his side to have no regrets and will welcome back Dave Drennan from suspension. His only injury worry concerns former Sky Blue Tom Bates who scored twice in the previous round versus Stanway Rovers.

Kick off at Sphinx Drive is at 3pm and the winners face Needham Market in the two legged Semi-Final. The first game will be at home on March 22nd with the second leg at Needham seven days later.

We'll have all the latest news from Sphinx Drive as the match progresses.
