US Portsmouth survive early red card for captain Glen to record first Wessex League points of the season

Hide AdUS were already leading at the time through a goal from James Franklyn.
The hosts completed victory in the second period when Franklyn, playing deeper than usual once US had gone down to 10 men, crossed for sub Cameron Quirke to head in.
US are back in Victory Stadium action on Tuesday evening against higher division Tadley Calleva in the Wessex League Cup.
Boss Glenn Turnbull will use the tie to give squad players some minutes.
