It was a Pompey side mixed with youth, as has been the general policy this season for Andy Awford, but also a fair mix of better known names - the aforementioned Kamara as well as Fuller, Ashdown and Mezague. And it only took two minutes for the home side to take the lead as Harris drew the keeper, rounded him, and crossed it for Kamara to finish easily.
Six minutes later and the score was doubled when Ricardo Fuller rounded two players and crossed brilliantly for Kamara to poke home comfortably again. The Jamaican spent a lot of time on the floor but this was a contribution more worthy of his talents and he was to play another part in the third goal.
The remainder of the first half fizzled out with few chances for either side, but in truth Portsmouth were always comfortably on top. Although the visitors boasted a couple of squad players such as Davies and former Pompey loanee Pamarot, in truth it was a case of men against boys. Although having a fair share of possession, Spurs never really troubled Ashdown who dealt comfortably with the few long range shots and crosses that came his way.
Into the second half and a burst from Fuller into the area saw him wedged between the defenders and there was no surprise when the referee pointed to the spot. Indeed there was no further surprise when Kamara seized the ball, and along with it the chance to claim his hat trick - and he put the ball away with aplomb, slamming it past the keeper into the bottom left corner.
And that was about it until full time, although the introduction of James Keene and Daryl Fordyce perked the team up briefly. Another couple of long range shots from the visitors was the height of their pressure as they tried to grab a consolation, but the final score was a fair reflection of the match.
Of course the result is not the most important thing in reserve matches, especially against as experimental and unimpressive a team as Spurs. However it is nice to see one of our strikers knows where the back of the net is. Fuller also did ok but still has the habit of overplaying it or giving it away too easily, especially when it comes to being muscled off the ball. Rodic had a very quiet game and obviously is still bedding in; Zajec's claim of him as "one for the future" would seem as being a fairly accurate assessment so far. All in all a satisfactory day at the office really, a decent performance and things to build on.
