ROBINS END ROYALISTS RUN
Windsor & Eton's five game unbeaten run came to an end as they were undeservedly beaten 1-0 away at Bracknell Town.
Gavin Smith scored the only goal from the penalty spot in second half injury time in a game which also saw three red cards including Bracknell's manager Alan Taylor.

Martin Hutt Receives Treatment After Dislocating His Hip
Windsor were by far the more dominant in this match and deserved an early lead.
Matt Brady's corner was flicked on by Kieren Adams and fired goalwards by Gordon Hill forcing Martin Hutt to pull of a tremendous save.
Brady then hit a free kick moments later that sailed just past the top corner of Hutt's goal.
Bracknell then lost Hutt for the rest of the game when he and Gordon Hill collided in a fair challenge for the ball but resulted in Hutt dislocating his hip when he landed.
Bracknell's only chance of the half fell to Gavin Smith who forced the best out of Windsor keeper Trevor Bunting.
Windsor continued to press for a much deserved goal and should have had it in the later stages of the first half.
Stuart Hammonds, who had replaced the injured Hutt in goal, missed a Matt Brady corner allowing Gordon Hill to strike only for his effort to be blocked by Stuart Harte and Nko Ekoku on the line.
Windsor were denied a penalty just before half time when Jon Underwood took the legs of Rob Saunders just as was about to take his shot.

Michael Murphy Wins The Throw In That Started The Flare Up

Stuart Harte Is Held Back After Attacking Murphy
Windsor continued their dominance in the second half and should have, again, taken the lead.
Sean Dykes cross found the head of Kieren Adams which Hammonds tipped over the bar.
From the resulting Matt Brady corner, Leon Townley was given time to shoot only to see the ball hit the top of the cross bar.
Matt Brady fired a chance over the bar after being released by Craig O'Connor and O'Connor also had a shot saved as Windsor looked for that elusive opener.
The match then flared up resulting in three red cards. Michael Murphy had won a throw in and Gavin Smith refused to give him the ball so Murphy pushed him to the ground.
Stuart Harte then ran 30 yards and attacked Murphy, resulting in Murphy and Harte being sent off and Smith being cautioned.
The third red card was shown to Bracknell manager Alan Taylor, presumably for something he said after the incident.
Windsor had the chance to get the win with only a minute left when Matt Brady's free kick was fumbled by Hammonds and when Leon Townley hit his follow up shot, Hammonds somehow got his head on the ball turning it just over the bar.
Bracknell stole the points with an injury time penalty. Ben Edwards and Kieren Adams tangled and as Adams put in his challenge, Edwards fell to the floor with Adams clearly winning the ball. The referee awarded the penalty which Gavin Smith scored.
