Brett Pitman’s latest pre-season goal gave AFC Portchester an impressive draw against three tiers higher Hawks.

Gianni Crichlow had fired Paul Doswell’s National League South visitors in front at the On-Site Group Stadium.

But former Pompey fans favourite Pitman struck an equaliser past ex-Portchester keeper Charlie Searle to ensure it ended honours even.

It was the Royals’ latest impressive pre-season result, after victories at Southern League Premier South pair Salisbury (6-2) and Dorchester (1-0).
