Coventry Sphinx Youth Team won their F.A. Youth Cup against Mickleover Sports with a 2-1 success to set up a 1st Round tie against League 2 side Hereford at Sphinx Drive.

Sphinx were too good for the visitors on the night and were rarely threatened apart from a couple of long range efforts. 

Two good goals from O' Shea in the f
irst half set up the platform for the win.

Mickleover had the best of the possession in the second half but were restricted to long range efforts as the back 4 of Martin, Taylor, Razza and Fraser stood frim.

A dubious penalty, three minutes from full time gave M
ickleover a lifeline and a nervy finish for Sphinx.
