| Match Summary |
Pompey have to travel to London for the second replay much to their disgust but they survive Orient’s opening onslaught, before poaching the lead when Davies’ knock-down was met 30 yards out by Kellard and his left-footer exploded into the roof of the net. Davies’ perfectly-placed shot made things safe to send more than 10,000 soaking wet fans happily back home down the A3. |
