Dave Meeson saved Dennis Coughlin's penalty, 6 minutes.

New signings Smith and Kirby make little impression for a jittery Sky Blues. Meeson saves Coughlin’s early spot-kick after Kearns handles, but errs for Bumstead’s headed winner. Humphries is axed but the attack is lop-sided. Again Best is in great form and saves Kirby’s best shot.
