Both sides found it hard to adapt to the conditions but managed to carve out early chances.

Leon Townley had a header from a Dave Carroll corner cleared off the line by Dudley Gardner, who was under pressure form bit Lee Roache and Craig O'Connor.

Hampton fans thought their side had taken the lead when Stephen Omonua got to Andy Morley's cross but only managed to put the ball behind as he collided with the post.

Windsor then capitalised on a couple of Hampton defensive mistakes.

When Craig O'Connor's cross was blocked the clearance hit the referee and Carroll hit a goal bound effort which cannoned off a Hampton defender.

Moments later Hampton were struggling to clear the ball again. Jermaine Lowe then hit a shot that got caught in the wind and when Craig O'Connor followed up his effort looked to be going miles over the bar only to be blown back.

Hampton came very close to going in a goal up at half time when Alan Inns headed a corner against the bar.

The second half couldn't have started any worse for Windsor as Hampton took the lead.

A quick Michael Currie free kick found its way to John Fowler who made no mistake in shooting past Chuck Martini.

Windsor should have levelled the score minutes later when Craig O'Connor crossed and both Lee Roache and Keith Scott tried to put the ball it.

Windsor's best chance of the match fell to Kieran Gallagher. A quick throw from Dave Tilbury found Gallagher who shot point blank at Adrian Blake who managed to parry the ball for Stephen Omonua to head the ball round the post.
