It was a fitting tribute to great former chairman Dave Coyle, who was Mr Pompey Ladies, and sadly died on the Tuesday before the match.

Before the game started we had a minute silence for ‘Mr Pompey Ladies’ David Coyle, who sadly passed away after a long fight with cancer.

This game was not only about the ladies getting their first win of the season but getting three points for the man who made everyone at the club smile, who initially set up the club, and a man so passionate about the ladies’ game.

The game saw Portsmouth play some superb football, leading to quality goals from Sarah Kempson (two) and Emma Sherwood.
