Sphinx Go Six Clear

Coventry Sphinx are tonight six points clear at the top of the Midland Combination after beating Southam United 2-1 at Sphinx Drive.

Paul Charnley's side trailed to a 38th Jim Clacker penalty but levelled two minutes after the restart. Jerome Murdock was hauled down and Craig Martin netted for the resulting penalty. Both sides had chances but Sphinx pilled on the pressure and snatched the game with five minutes left, thanks to youngster Calum Woodward turning his marker inside the six yard box and drilling the ball into the bottom corner.
