Before the game Windsor & Eton fans were introduced to the new Club President and BBC Commentator Barry Davies who replaces Sir David Hill-Wood who died a couple of years ago.

With the formalities out of the way, Windsor tried to get down to business and took the game to Leyton.

Early chances came and went and Windsor showed their current inability to take them.

Leyton, on the other hand, came that bit closer to taking a lead.

Manny Williams first had a shot deflected wide by Paul Cook and then had a shot tipped over after Cook and Lee Kersey got in each others way dealing with Simon Pedrie's cross.

Leyton started throwing the tackles in earning Ian Bass a yellow card for launching Morgaro Gomis into the air and then Lee Kersey was left with a cut above his right eye thanks to a high Leli Bajada boot.

James Hanes had the perfect opportunity to give his side a half time firing high above an open goal from Williams' cross.

Hanes turned provider minutes after the break, this time picking out Neil Thompson who's shot was saved by the feet of Chuck Martini.

Lee Kersey then took out Bajada earning him a yellow card and from the free kick saw the first of what should have been two dismissals.

Martini caught the kick under pressure from Scott Honeyball who then reared up in front of the Windsor keeper with Paul Holsgrove and Kersey keeping them apart.

Honeyball then shoved Holsgrove away and when called over to the referee planted a punch into the stomach of Kersey, which was conveniently missed by both the referee and his assistant.

Then, in the last ten minutes, came a decision that should have left the referee with no option than to send of keeper James Hasell.

Dave Carroll's long ball to Peter Holsgrove was literally picked up outside the area by Hasell but the keeper was shown a yellow card and not red.
