August 10, 2013 - Fratton Park - It was a great weekend for football at the pitch at Fratton Park on Saturday. Mike Blackwell addressed the few in attendance before the match and stated that he would look towards the Portsmouth community to help build this club right. For those that were at Fratton Park, they walked away with a joyous 3-1 win over Cheltenham Town.

Yassin Moutaouakil put in a great performance to achieve him the first Man-of-the-Match for Portsmouth of the 2013-2014 campaign. Surprising that the award did not go to Patrick Ageymang who did land 2 goals on the day. Or perhaps, newcomer Aaron Clapham who scored the first goal for Portsmouth of the season. Aaron is a new signing that joined the team three days ago and was playing his very first football game at Fratton Park.

The system looked to be slow and methodical, and right where Blackwell wanted the game the entire time. It did look as if GK John Sullivan might get a clean sheet, however a head ball by Brown from a beautiful free kick about 30 yards out, put Cheltenham Town on the board. The defense for the rest of the event held true.

Blackwell said after the game, "it was a pretty dominating performance when it comes to possession statistics. I was proud of each of our players. They took advantage of key opportunities, and pushed themselves to make our opportunities more significant that Cheltenham. We still need to click in a few areas, but all in all - it was a good showing."
