Doug Tucks two away as Bognor beat Uxbridge in FA Trophy
At a rain-swept Honeycroft the Rocks had their three Pompey loanees back in the squad, but not Joe Hancott, another Fratton Park youngster, who is now out injured. Eddie Wakley and Victor Hensel were both given starts.
Tuck forced Paul McCarthy into a save with his legs on five minutes as he latched onto a pass from Dan Smith. An error led to Mahlondon Martin running at the Bognor defence before crossing, and a spillage by Amadou Tangara led to Jack Beadle pouncing to poke into an empty net on six minutes. Tangara complained the ball had been kicked out of his hands but the linesman ignored his claims.

Hide AdSmith was impeded and Crane's cross found Hensel but he could only divert it wide of the post on 11 minutes. Hensel was brought down outside the box and Callum Duffy went into the book. The ball in from Harvey Whyte was met by Smith but his instant strike was blocked inadvertently by team-mate Keaton Wood.
