Last updated : 08 August 2008 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry Sphinx will start their Midland Alliance campaign with a trip to Tipton Town.

Paul Charnley's side finished 21st last season and will be looking for a much higher placing this season. They will travel to Tipton on Saturday August 9th before travelling to Stratford Town three days later.

This season,Sphinx will alternate their fixtures with Coventry City, so if the Sky Blues are at home,Sphinx will be away. This is a move designed to increase support for matches at Sphinx Drive in the Lower Stoke area of Cov.



Sphinx's first home game is an FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round tie against Barwell who are managed by former Sphinx bosses Marcus Law and Lee Knibbs, on Saturday August 16th with Sphinx at home to newly promoted Highgate United on August 19th.
