FOOTBALL - Coventry Sphinx beat Romulus to advance in FA Cup

Aaron Sutcliffe 5th Aug, 2025 Updated: 5th Aug, 2025   0

COVENTRY Sphinx advanced to the next round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory away at Romulus.

Goals from Kyle Carey and Djibril Diedhiou sealed victory for Sphinx at Coles Lane in the extra preliminary round tie.

Coventry will now host Dudley Town in the preliminary round on Saturday, August 16.

After a goalless first period, Sphinx broke the deadlock on 51 minutes when Carey took the ball into the penalty area and coolly found the bottom right corner.

And Sphinx sealed their place in the next round one minute from time as Diedhiou cut in from the left and drilled a shot through the legs of the Romulus goalkeeper.

Coventry begin their league campaign against Mickleover on Saturday, August 9 with kick-off at 3pm at the Cameron Slater Arena.
