Swindon Town 7th in Division Three | Coventry City 4th in Division Two

Ice and pools of water make it a treacherous surface but both teams adapt and put on a spectacle. Swindon are unlucky not to draw with Rogers losing his footing when through in the 2nd minute and hitting the bar near the end. Brown’s goal is a Kearns error, but Rees’ grounder is true.
