Coventry Sphinx FC have regretably been forced to withdraw their application for promotion to the Southern League.
Sphinx had their Sphinx Drive home ground graded on Monday night after the 0-0 draw with Westfields and with rules demanding turnstiles and extra seating which the club does not have, club officials felt that they could not meet the deadline in order to upgrade and were forced to withdraw their application.
Sphinx will stay in the Midland Alliance League for another season and may look to move up the pyramid if finances permit.
