| Match Summary | The season Manager Jack Tinn described at the outset as a 'great adventure' draws to a close with Pompey retaining their Division One status, just. The first season in the top flight had begun with Tinn replacing McCartney but no players with top level experience had been signed leaving the majority of the squad having been those who climbed from Division Three South in 1924. They finish their home programme on a disappointing note though as they are made to pay for missing first half chances when Seymour scores in the final minute with Pompey defenders claiming hand ball. |
