ROYALISTS FEAST ON THE SARNIES
Dennis Greene's Christmas keeps getting better and better as his side won a fiery encounter 3-2 at home against Egham Town.
Egham, consisting of 7 former Windsor players, took the lead through an Eddie Gray penalty. Paul De Luca added a second after Sean Dyke had equalised with Leon Townley and Matt Brady scoring in the second half.
Matty James Lines Up Against
Former Royalist Eddie Gray
When you consider the comings and goings between both clubs, this was always going to be a well contested match which had no fewer than 10 bookings.
Windsor enjoyed the best of the opening possession, but it was Egham that had the best of the opening chances.
Matt Edwards managed to get through the Windsor defence only to be denied by a great Trevor Bunting save.
Egham took the lead when they were awarded a penalty after Dave Tilbury took down Edwards. Former Royalist Eddie Gray stepped up and scored from the spot.
Egham tried to build on their lead and should have done when Edwards got clear again but could not beat Bunting.
Windsor managed to push Egham back in the later stages of the half and were unlucky not to pull level when Sean Dyke layed the ball off to Spencer Walsh and his shot was well tipped over by Leighton Bull.
Windsor then lost Simon Stapleton when he pulled up while giving chase to Edwards and was replaced by Leigh Rosier.
Sean Dyke pulled Windsor level with a few minutes of the half left. A quick Craig O'Connor throw to Dyke allowed him to cross and the ball went in off the far post.
The two teams stayed level for only a couple of minutes when Paul De Luca managed to do the same as Dyke at the other end of the pitch.
Leon Townley And Gordon Hill
Line Up For A Corner
Windsor came out for the second half and dominated.
O'Connor managed to miss from only a couple of yards after Leon Townley had headed on a Matt Brady free kick.
Windsor then lost O'Connor when he started limping and was replaced by Gordon Hill.
The home side pulled level for the second time when Leon Townley waltzed through the Egham midfield and layed off to Spencer Walsh. His shot came back off the bar and Townley poked the ball in for his first ever Windsor goal.
Sean Dyke could have put his side ahead when Bull's poor clearance fell to Matty James and he crossed to Dyke who shot wide across goal.
Windsor finally took the lead when Townley came through the Egham midfield again and this time layed off to Matt Brady who decided to walk round 4 defenders before slotting past Bull.
Brady came close to putting the game well and truly out of Egham's reach when his effort was put over by Reece White.
