- FT: Coventry Sphinx 0 City 1 (Bates 38p)
- JOE Bates was fouled for and scored the decisive penalty as threadbare Worcester City ground out a 1-0 win at Coventry Sphinx.
- That was only half of the story as tackles flew in amid skirmishes that referee Jospeh Larkin struggled to stay on top of.
- Sphinx built some pressure early in the second half and might have kicked on had more ill discipline not reared its ugly head.
- Despite the slender margin, City saw out a first win of the season with relative ease over a side that had not conceded a goal in the league prior to kick-off.
- Sphinx: Cross, Lower, Hudson, Downie, Stringfellow, Quirke, Towers, Woodward, Johnston, O'Grady, Faulkner.
- Subs: Cairns, Phillips, Guest, Rock, Sterling.
- City: Jezeph, Weir, Osbourne, Gallinagh, Stoddart (c), Caines, Lockett, Withington, Harrison, Bates, Baldwin.
- Subs: Brett, Keasey, Birley, Owusu, Gwynne (g/k).
