Northern Ireland under-17 international Storey, who arrived from Portadown this summer, grabbed the Blues’ opener before half-time.

His 35-yard effort caught the Addicks keeper off guard and flew into the corner.

Lee notched Mark Kelly’s side’s second with a side-footed finish.

Pompey Academy next travel to AFC Portchester on Saturday (3pm).
