Saturday For Sphinx FA Cup Tie

Last updated : 03 September 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry Sphinx have been unsuccessful in trying to switch their FA Cup First Qualifying Round home game against Rushall Olympic.

The Sphinx Committee had wanted to move the game to the Friday night to avoid a clash with Coventry City's home Championship game with Bristol City and hopefully allow more supporters to see the game and had been given permission to do so by the Football Association.



However, the Unibond League Division One South side did not want to play on the Friday night or at 5.45pm on the Saturday and now the game will go ahead on Saturday September 12th with kick off at 3pm.
