Another Pompey duo boost Rocks' threadbare squad
Midfielder Leon Maloney, 17, and playmaker Freddie Read, 18, have been recruited by the Rocks in time to go into the squad for this evening's (Tuesday) game at home to Corinthian Casuals.
It brings to five the number of young players Pompey have sent to Nyewood Lane this season - strikers Brad Lethbridge and Dan Smith and centre-half Joe Dandy have all turned out for Jack Pearce and Robbie Blake's side, although Smith and Dandy are now sidelined by injury.
