Pompey cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Hawks in their latest pre-season warm-up tonight. Defender Ryley Towler lit up the clash at Westleigh Park with an outrageous 45-yard finish after the restart, as triallist Sean Patton also got on the scorsheet with a clinical low drive. That came after Christian Saydee opened the scoring in the 19th minute as he lashed home a drive from inside the box. Shaun North’s side proved committed opposition, but in truth barely laid a glove on Pompey before triallist Seok Jae-Lee had a finish cleared off the line by academy youngster Ciaran Martin. That was after a host of youngsters were introduced for the final 30 minutes, with John Mousinho splitting his senior players between the Hawks clash and tomorrow’s trip to Bognor. This evening's attendance has been confirmed as 3,520.
