| Match Summary | Pompey’s first Sunday league game sees skipper Kellard, making him the first player sent off on a Sunday. He vows to contest the first-half dismissal. High-flying WBA led when Glover’s long-range drive deflected in off Went, but Piper levelled after Hiron’s shot was saved. Davies hit a post and Shaw was sent off in a frantic finale. |
