Fixture: Coventry Sphinx v Loughborough University
Date: Saturday 8th September
Venue: Sphinx Drive, off Siddeley Avenue, Stoke, Coventry, CV3 1WA

PREVIEW: Coventry Sphinx return to league action looking to build on their first six games that has put them in 4th place in the MFL Premier Division. This fixture sees the return of our ever popular offer where we admit Coventry City season ticket holders free of charge. It gives you an ideal way to come and take a look at Coventry Sphinx.
COVENTRY SPHINX: Coventry Sphinx have lost out in tough FA Cup and FA Vase ties but their league form has been good with four wins from their opening six games.
THE OPPOSITION: Loughborough always bring a lively and young side that always look to play an attractive brand of football. Loughborough have lost three of their six league games (all away from home). Their home form has been better and in their last home match they put six past West Bridgford in the FA Vase. Incredibly they have taken part in three 3-3 draws already this season so the potential for goals in this game is there.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS: Last season Coventry Sphinx achieved the double over “The Students” with two narrow victories. In late August, a Ryan Harkin goal was enough to take the points in Leicestershire. The January fixture at Sphinx saw a goal each from Charlie Faulkner and Ryan Harkin inside the first twenty minutes and that was enough for Sphinx to take the points with a 2-1 win.
