I take your point. It's a weird League all round, with Coventry Sphinx Reserves in 4th - with NINE games in hand over the leaders, though down in the points stakes. Anyone looked at Bashley recently? www.tonykempster.co.uk/sl1sw.htmAdmitedly we feel a vested interest in that 6 of our former players are their major stars... Indeed 54 of their 88 goals have been scored by ex-Salisbury players. Just look at that goal difference!  |

Funnily enough I was at Wernley Athletic's 4-2 win over Continental Star reserves last Wednesday. they were a Sunday League side last season but managed to secure a groundshare at the Hadley Stadium in Smethwick to allow them into the Combination.
They are one of the few teams in the division to have floodlights so I don't know why they are so far behind in games played really.
I was pleasantly surprised to see ex-Tammie Peter Folkes in the starting line up.

I'm not sure either, our 'A' team beat them early on in the Vase too, so that's certainly one cup out of the way early...

How Coleshill contrived not to score in the first half I will never know. On 2 minutes a free header went miles over, on 13 the Centre back smashed wide with an open goal to aim at after a corner went through everyone, on 30 their winger had a one on one with the 'keeper and tried to lob him completely messing it up with his mate completely open for the square ball. A minute later with the 'keeper in no mans land one fella blasted wide - a striker had a diving header go wide when he should have at least got it on target and to top it all off Sphinx took the lead 6 minutes before the break after the goalie spilled a free kick. I always seem to miss the start of the second half at Sphinx as you can't see the pitch from the bar. Today was no exception and I missed the equaliser. A fairly uneventful second half until a dreadful back pass was intercepted and blasted home for 2-1 on 72'. Coleshill scored a free kick from the edge of the area to bring the scores level a minute into stoppage time, before their number 7 got himself sent off for kicking the ball away (his 2nd Yellow) - A very stupid thing to do 5 minutes into stoppage time.
The programme was awfully non-tinpot though.
