CHAMPIONSHIP : COVENTRY CITY VS PORTSMOUTH – 21/04/2026 (PHOTO – EPHRON MASON-CLARK SCORED A BRACE FOR COVENTRY)

COVENTRY CITY’S SUCCESS HAS GROWN BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS!  NOT ONLY HAVE THEY SECURED PROMOTION TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE, BUT THEY HAVE ALSO NOW CLINCHED THE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE (WITH TWO GAMES TO GO), WITH THEIR WIN OVER PORTSMOUTH AFTER RUNNING RIOT FOR A FULL 90 MINS!  IT WAS HAJI WRIGHT WHO KICKED OFF PROCEEDINGS WITH A CRACKER AT 12 MINS., WITH EPHRON MASON-CLARK SCORING A BRILLIANT BRACE AT 47 MINS. AND 76 MINS. RESPECTIVELY, ALL FINISHING OFF WITH A SUPERB GOAL IN STOPPAGE TIME BY KAINE HAYDEN AT 90 + 1 MINS. PORTSMOUTH’S ADRIAN SEGECIC SCORED A STUNNER AT 69 MINS., (BUT EARLIER, HIS TEAM-MATE REGAN POOLE SCORED AN EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE OWN GOAL AT 50 MINS.) ONLY INCREASING TO COVENTRY CITY’S TALLY, SO IT WAS “GAME, SET AND MATCH” TO COVENTRY CITY, WITH A 5 – 1 TRIUMPH!  MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO COVENTRY CITY,  AND FRANK LAMPARD (WHO HAS ‘KNITTED TOGETHER’ A WINNING TEAM!) AND CHIN-UP PORTSMOUTH, IT WAS GREAT ENTERTAINMENT AND YOU TRIED YOUR BEST FOR ALL TO SEE – YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME AND THAT IS WHY THEY CALL THIS THE ‘BEAUTIFUL GAME’…👍
