Match Summary Fresh from a friendly win at Clyde, Pompey are delayed by a train troubles, but make up lost time with an express start. Ike Clarke nods in a corner, then his shot creeps under Merrick. Harris claims a hat-trick of assists, before Green limps off (torn thigh). Berry heads against the bar.
