Windsor were still without Leon Townley and were also forced to rest Kieren Adams and Michael Murphy who started on the bench.

But, even though it was a slightly weaker side, they started well and should have taken the lead.

Dave Carroll's long ball over the Leatherhead defence was perfect for Simon Elcombe who shrugged off the challenge of Adam Gray, but his shot was straight at keeper Justin Gray.

Leatherhead fought back and came very close from a Jon Lloyd corner. Michael Webb got his head to the ball and somehow Trevor Bunting managed to block the effort on the line.

Leatherhead took the lead mid-way through the half when Ali Chabaan got past Gordon Hill and then Dave Tilbury before shooting past Bunting.

Windsor almost pulled it level when a quick throw in allowed Dave Carroll to play in Craig O'Connor but his shot was straight at Justin Gray.

The second half seemed to be just a contest between both defence's to see who could kick the ball the furthest as the ball went from one to the other.

Both defence's seemed able to handle this until Phil Ruggles got the wrong side of Dave Tilbury and the Windsor defender pulled Ruggles back, earning Leatherhead a free kick on the edge of the area.

Paul Harford wasted no time in taking the kick and as soon as referee Linington had blown his whistle he struck the ball past the wall and past Bunting to double his sides lead.

Tilbury was almost responsible for a third five minutes later when he let the ball run through to Bunting which Ruggles latched onto and then lobbed over Bunting, luckily the ball came back off the far post.

Windsor only chance to get back into the game came from a Dave Carroll free kick. He swung the ball towards the far post perfectly for Craig O'Connor who headed just wide.

Another defeat for a side that in a space of three weeks have gone from promotion hopefuls to a mid-table side.
