PREVIEW: Coventry Sphinx welcome Derbyshire club South Normanton Athletic to Sphinx Drive on Saturday. South Normanton are battling hard to get out of the relegation zone so they’ll be providing a tough test for Coventry Sphinx this weekend.
THE OPPOSITION: South Normanton may be in the relegation zone but their current form indicates they are a mid-table side. Recent wins against Loughborough University, Coventry Utd and Lye Town has given them a real chance of escaping the drop.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS: In early November, Coventry stole the points at the M.J Structures Arena with an injury time goal from Charlie Faulkner giving Sphinx all three points. The game was an entertaining contest and either side could have taken the points on the day.
