With most of the regular players rested before Saturday's FA Trophy match at Grays, Dennis Greene gave chances to fringe and reserve team players.

Chuck Martini, Lewis Cook, Guy Ekwalla, Paul Cook, Justin Skinner and Dave Carroll all sat out the match along with Peter Holsgrove, Paul Holsgrove, Ryan Parsons and Morgaro Gomis who were placed on the bench.

Windsor made a positive start when James Cox connected with Symon James' cross but was denied by John Beale on the line.

Although without Justin Skinner and Paul Cook, Windsor were solid at the back and the few early Marlow chances were easily dealt with.

Windsor got themselves ahead after just 12 minutes when James Cox managed to slam the ball in after Dave Tilbury had headed down Brahim Eloumani's free kick for his first senior club goal.

It could have been two just a minute later when John Beale's backward headed went straight past keeper Lee Knott who then gave chase to keep the ball in.

Having reached the ball and clawed it back, Adam Mansueto pounced on the loose ball, putting it in the net, only for the assistant referee to flag for a corner.

James Pritchard hit the post with a free kick for the visitors before Windsor ventured forward once more.

Cox skipped past Pritchard and then set Mansueto away with a delightful ball over the defence only to be denied by a last ditch tackle from Micky Floyd.

Marlow were able to cause Windsor some discomfort towards the end of the half when Yashwa Romeo got to a Robert Gibson cross but was denied by Lee Kersey.

From the resulting corner a scramble ensued which ended up with Gibson getting his face in the way of a goalbound effort from Floyd.

Marlow did manage to find that elusive equaliser when Romeo stabbed in a Tim Cook long throw.

The start of the second half saw the introduction of Ryan Parsons and Paul Holesgrove for Leigh Rosier and Lee Kersey.

The match descended into a midfield battle and to try and turn the game to his favour, Greene called on the services of Peter Holsgrove, and it worked.

Holsgrove hadn't been on the pitch for a minute when Terry O'Connor was left in acres to let off a thunderous shot which was parried straight to Holsgrove who knocked it into the net.

Windsor were content to ride out the remainder of the match but came close to facing extra time when, in injury time, Romeo was put through by Tim Cook but could find no way past Jody Wainwright.
