Have had a request from a friend who's asking if anyone knows of Bishop Auckland played at Pompey at all during the 1960s. I assume it would have to be a friendly were that the case, although the logiiitcs of it don't make sense. I'm aware there was an FACY match in 2004 so it's not that.

Many of the northern amateur teams went down south prior to the Amateur Cup Final and often played friendlies on the Friday night against London area times - maybe this could explain Bishop Auckland being down there - but doesn't help with the Pompey query!

The game that you referred to in 2004 was played on 27/4/2004. It was not an F A Youth Cup game, but an English Schools F A Final between Portsmouth U15 and Bishop Auckland U15. Pompey won 1-0. A programme exists for this game.
As Pete has previously mentioned, I also can see no such fixture in my list of first team friendlies. Pompey only had a Reserve team up to 1965, and I am not aware of any such friendly at this level either.
Why does your friend think such a game took place, and are they able to provide any more information?
Happy to investigate further if more info comes to light.

Not quite the 60's but in Feb 1922 RMA Portsmouth played Bishop Auckland in the Amateur Cup. Bishops went on to win the final that year.

It's from someone who thinks he remembers going to see Pompey play, having been taken there by his dad as a youngster when they lived in Waterlooville. He also thinks that Bishop Auckland were the opposition because of their strange name, and it resonated with him being a catholic.

Weird, I know.

I think that blows the 1922 theory out of the water.

Might it be Bishop's Waltham as it's only a few miles from Portsmouth?

Would they have a football team who might have played a local cup final there?

Because of a lack of an underground cellar in my village local we don't have draught real ale, but our accommodating landlord always has a decent variety of decent ales in bottles. Am currently enjoying Bishop's Finger, and at 5.4% it's a reasonable tipple.

Just as an aside on ale, I ordered 16 Belgian beers online from a company called Beerwulf, and these worked out at just over £2 per bottle with free postage. Eight of them are 8% or above, and two of them are 11%. With a nice malt whisky chaser am set for a few nice nights in the coming week or so.
