Full-time: AFC Binley 2-3 Polonia Coventry... 

In Summing Up This Game:

"I have to say that I am bitterly disappointed to lose this match.

Having got in front twice I feel that we should have gone on to win this game, however Polonia stayed in the contest by working hard and they grew stronger as the match went on.

Their first and third goals were worthy of winning any game and I cannot do them justice in my report.

For me it's worrying that we are not taking a larger share of our chances created but I guess that's football!

We now have to bounce back quickly to keep our season on track."
