Windsor & Eton 2 - 1 Bishops Cleeve
Zamaretto Div 1 South & West | Saturday 7th November 2009
RICHARDSON RESCUES ROYALISTS
Michael Chennells tries to beat John Cant but the ball strikes the defenders arm earning a penalty. Windsor & Eton kept up their unbeaten start to the season with another dogged performance winning 2-1 against Bishops Cleeve.

An early chance for Windsor saw Ryan Wharton cross from the right but Joe Chandiram was just beaten to the ball.

Moments later Wharton almost gifted Cleeve a chance to take the lead when he brought down Gareth Hopkins and Michael Jackson’s free kick was well saved by Rob Bullivant.

Michael Chennells was then denied by Tom King when he got on the end of Chandiram’s cross.

Chennells was then instrumental in earning Windsor’s best chance of the half when he tried to lift the ball over the head of John Cant but the ball struck his arm earning a penalty.

Matt Seedel stepped up and hit the ball low but King was able to push it away.

Cleeve then took the lead a couple of minutes later when Windsor failed to clear the ball allowing Sam Avery to cross and Hopkins to put the ball in the net.

Windsor then lost the services of Chandiram after kicking the bottom of someone's boot ended up with a stud going through his boot and into his foot.

The second half saw Cleeve have the better of the exchanges and when Kevin Slack burst down the left and cross Bullivant did well to save from Ban Gascoyne.

Windsor started to get back into the match and came close when Victor Osobu headed Andrew Fagan’s cross over the bar.

Osobu then hit the ball across the goalmouth and only inches for Marcus Richardson’s outstretched foot.

Windsor finally drew level on 75 minutes When Bullivant’s long ball was flicked on by Richardson allowing Chennells to run through, lift the ball over King and tap into the net.

They soon took the lead when Seedel was able to lift the ball into the area where Richardson volleyed past King.
