The first 'silverware' of the new season was on show at Sixfields this evening but it was Coventry that took home the Jackson Grundy Cup after a late strike sealed a friendly win for the visitors. Billy McKay, a second half substitute, further staked a claim for a Town contract with an overhead kick that looked to have taken the game to penalties late in the day.
But it was City who took home the trophy after Sean Jeffers struck the winner with just three minutes to play. Leon Best had earlier given the Sky Blues the lead with a powerful strike from distance before McKay's goal.
So a tough work out for the Cobblers this evening and a second straight defeat but at least we put up a decent fight against the Championship side who looked strong in taking home their latest in a string of wins this summer. The Cobblers now turn their attention to the trip to Stamford on Thursday afternoon.
