Reserves Beaten By Doncaster - Blues lose Premier League Cup group game. please log in to view this image Paul Downing Pompey Reserves cannot reach the knockout stages of the Premier League following a 4-2 defeat to Doncaster. Paul Downing skippered a youthful side, with Adam May and Matt Casey the only senior players to feature. And the visitors stormed into a convincing interval lead, with goals from Danny Amos, Rian McLean and Myron Gibbons. They increased their advantage through a trialist after the break, but the Blues at least mounted a late fightback. Haji Mnoga nodded home a right-sided free-kick, while Leon Maloney then finished neatly at the far post. Pompey still have two group fixtures remaining – against Exeter and Aston Villa – but cannot finish in the top two. Pompey: Taylor Seymour; Haji Mnoga, Paul Downing (c), Matt Casey, Harvey Rew; Adam May, Gerard Storey, Stan Bridgman (Charlie Bell 60); Leon Maloney, Alfie Stanley (Eoin Teggart 68), Bradley Lethbridge Subs not used: Tom Bruce, Ethan Robb, Liam Kelly
