Several members of the Pompey squad were involved for their loan clubs over the past week.
Haji Mnoga
The defender has been involved in a few memorable cup contests for Aldershot this season and it was the same again on Saturday.
Eastleigh had roared into a two-goal lead in their FA Trophy third round tie, with former Fratton loanee Paul McCallum among the scorers.
But the Shots reduced their deficit and Mnoga then fired home to take the tie to penalties, which they won 5-4 to set up a trip to Bishop’s Stortford.

Substitute Scott Jones slices one towards goal forcing Steward’s first big save!
But he missed their Russell Cotes Cup win over Havant & Waterlooville on Monday night after being called up by England for a goalkeeping development camp at St George’s Park.
Jack Fox
The academy centre-back has returned for another loan spell with neighbours Baffins Milton Rovers.
But they lost 3-1 at AFC Portchester on Saturday and are currently sitting 10th in the Wessex Premier Division standings.
