Windsor, down to their last available striker in Tony Reid, named manager Dennis Greene on the bench and played the returning Kieren Adams as Reid's partner.

Not that it was a problem as the pairing of Reid and Adams stole the show, although it was Dave Carroll who got the first chance on goal.

Carroll managed to create space for himself and after a poor first effort struck a second which fizzed just past the post.

It wasn't long after that Reid grabbed the first of a superb hat-trick. Dave Carroll floated a free kick towards the back post with Reid rising to head in past James Mercer.

Adams added a second moments later when Tony Reid, Paul Reed and James Mercer all went for the same ball which Mercer ended up spilling to Carroll who in turn fed Adams who shot past the Egham keeper.

Midway through the half Reid added his second when a pi point cross from Kieran Gallagher found Reid who headed the ball clear of Michael Regan before shooting under Mercer.

Egham should have pulled one back before half time Jamie Da Costa and Younis Nabil both got free of the Windsor defence and found they only had Chuck Martini to beat.

As Da costa layed the ball across to Nabil, Martini dived at the Egham strikers feet collecting the ball.

Reid completed his hat-trick in first half injury time when Adams received the ball from a Ryan Parsons throw and crossed. Reid managed to turn Jamie Muldowney before shooting under Mercer.

Kieren Adams Was Sent Off

Windsor took their foot off the gas in the second half and Egham were quick to pounce.

Chuck Martini was caught out by a poor back pass and then dispossessed by Da Coast who then shot in.

Steve Baker hit the bar midway through the half after his cross was missed by Leon Townley, Dave Tilbury and Younis Nabil.

Egham grabbed a second when former Windsor player Younis Nabil headed in from a corner.

It was another Egham corner that almost produced a goal for Windsor. Martini punched the corner clear and Terry O'Connor ran from box to box before letting of a shot which was turned round the post by Mercer.

The match then produced a moment totally unfitting to the rest of the game which saw two players sent off.

Matt Brady and Jamie Muldowney tangled and Muldowney head butted Brady which then saw Kieren Adams come to the aid of his team mate and in the process he confronted Muldowney.
