It wasn't the best of performances in the first half for either team with far to many passes going astray and some very poor first touches.

It was this that almost gifted Marlow with a very early lead.

Lee Carroll's long clearance was missed by Julian Renner-Thomas and with Trevor Bunting hesitant to commit to the ball Nicky Ryder tried to lob him and luckily for Windsor hit the post.

Craig O'Connor put wide after beating Tim Cook and Simon Stapleton had a long range effort well saved after avoiding a couple of challenges.

The second half wasn't much better with both teams struggling to keep the ball under control.

Marlow managed to carve an early chance from a James Pritchard corner which was headed goalwards by John Isaac and then flicked on by Robert Gibson forcing a fine save out of Trevor Bunting.

Windsor then had efforts from Dave Tilbury and Leon Townley blocked on the line after a Matt Brady Corner.

O'Connor was unlucky when he couldn't get enough of his head on a Brady cross which fizzed across the Marlow goal.

In a game of poor touches and passing, it was always going to be a mistake that lead to a goal.

Lee Carroll's poor goal kick only made it 30 yards when Brady headed into the path of O'Connor who left John Beale standing before shooting in off the post.

The lead was almost doubled a couple of minutes later when Nicky Ryder sliced a Shaun Dyke cross past his own goal.

Marlow had a chance to pull the game level in the final ten minutes.

John Isaac managed to evade challenges from Matt Brady, Michael Murphy and Leon Townley before crossing for Nicky Ryder, who's shot was blocked by Dave Tilbury before being cleared.
