Re:  Opinion and Consent                                                        

Ladies and Gentlemen:                                                 

  This letter is in response to your request for our opinion in connection
with the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 32 to the Registration          
Statement, File Nos. 33-81800 and 811-8644 (the "Registration Statement"), of   
The Coventry Funds Trust (the "Trust").                                         

  We have examined a copy of the Trust's Declaration of Trust, the Trust's
By-laws, the Trust's record of the various actions by the Trustees thereof, and 
all such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers 
and representatives of the Trust and others, and such other documents, papers,  
statutes and authorities as we deem necessary to form the basis of the opinion  
hereinafter expressed. We have assumed the genuineness of the signatures and the
conformity to original documents of the copies of such documents supplied to us 
as copies thereof.                                                              

    Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, after Post-Effective
Amendment No. 32 is effective for purposes of applicable federal and state      
securities laws, the shares of Fifth Third Quality Growth VIP Fund, Fifth Third 
Balanced VIP Fund, Fifth Third Mid Cap VIP Fund, Fifth Third Disciplined Value  
VIP Fund and Free Enterprise Action Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of the    
Trust, if issued in accordance with the then current Prospectuses and Statements
of Additional Information of each of the Funds, will be legally issued, fully   
paid and non-assessable.                                                        

    We hereby give you our permission to file this opinion with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to Post-Effective Amendment No. 32 to the 
Registration Statement. This opinion may not be filed with any subsequent       
amendment, or incorporated by reference into a subsequent amendment, without our
prior written consent. This opinion is prepared for the Trust and its           
shareholders, and may not be relied upon by any other person or organization    
without our prior written approval.                                             

Very truly yours,
