COVENTRY SPHINX 5-0 CHRIST THE KING BY KEV MONKS
Coventry Sphinx went nap against Christ The King with a five goal display tonight at Sphinx Drive.
Danny McSheffrey's side had the play after the Coventry Alliance side, who fielded three ex Sphinx players in Mark Owen, Scott McGregor and Jez Carpenter, had fired wide in the seventh minute.
Sphinx produced five corners and had four shots on goal before they took the lead in the 37th minute thanks to a stunning twenty four yard drive from Arron Donaldson who gave the keeper no chance with his powerfully hit shot.
It was the second half where Sphinx really took the game to the visitors. In the 52nd minute, they doubled their tally thanks to Kyle Rhodes poking home from a corner.
Pavel Tomczak attacked again for Sphinx a minute later but saw his low drive strike the keeper's left hand post. However in the 59th minute, the Pole was not to be denied when Danny Fraser picked him out and he was able to walk the ball into an empty net.
Tomczak was now causing havoc in the Kings defence. He had one shot pushed onto the post by the keeper and in the 66th minute, he rose to head home a free kick.
Tomczak had scored twice against Kenilworth Town on Tuesday night but tonight, he was to go one better when Nicky Martin slipped the ball and he rounded a defender to make it 5-0.
Danny Fraser, who had a fine game along with a good number of his team-mates, struck a post, with five minutes to go of what was a good team performance from Sphinx who are home to Loughborough Dynamo on Saturday at 3pm.
