Carlo Costrechino put wide for Horsham very early on and Rob Saunders came close with a long range effort.

Windsor came close again when Simon Elcombe put Craig O'Connor through forcing a fine save out of Ian Chatfield.

Julian Renner-Thomas was then on hand to deny Gavin Geddes when Eddie French's quick free kick set the Horsham striker on his way.

Horsham broke again when Gary Charman took the ball from Simon Elcombe, broke down the left and crossed for Steffan Ball. Trevor Bunting parried the save and Dave Tilbury cleared the danger.

Charman then did the same to O'Connor. This time his cross was met by Lee Butcher and put past Bunting, giving Horsham the lead.

Lee Carney came close at the start of the second half when his corner kick got caught by the wind and came off the bar.

Trevor Bunting then produced a great double save. First he managed to parry Lee Carney's kick and then get hold of Costrechino's follow up.

Windsor lost substitute Ryan Parsons after he and Costrechino collided. Both players faced off to each other, but referee Ebbage decided to send off Parsons and do nothing with Costrechino.

Ebbage had done something similar earlier in them match when Dave Tilbury and Steffan Ball collided. This time he booked Tilbury, but seemed to see through Ball's act when he started to ignore him every time he fell to the ground when within a few yards of Tilbury.
