Sutton Coldfield Town Ladies 2-1 Coventry Sphinx

Sphinx put up a solid resistance to Sutton's possession game and worked some opportunities from distance

Sutton took the lead on 41 minutes with a well taken goal by skipper Ruth Graham but after the break Sphinx drew level with a shot from distance which should have been dealt with

Further opportunities were created by Laura Fryer, Cheyanne Jarvis and Ruth Graham but it took until the 85th minute when Laura Fryer got the winner for Sutton to put them into the quarter-finals of the cup

There were also solid debuts from Georgia Whitehouse and Imogen Fisher

Player-of-the-match was Sarah Lampitt who was outstanding in midfield for Sutton

Manager Andy Burman said "Sphinx were a hard nut to crack as they kept coming back at us strongly but we managed to get over the line with two good goals"
