ROYALISTS DUMPED OUT OF TROPHY
Windsor & Eton have gone out of the FA Trophy after a 4-1 away defeat at Grays Athletic.
Dean Brennan (2), Gary Hooper and Steve West scored for Grays with Peter Holsgrove leveling the scores in the first half.

Peter Holsgrove Scored His Eleventh Of The Season
With Grays running away in the Conference South this was always going to be a hard game for Windsor, and on 4 minutes it was made even harder.
Leroy Griffiths swung the ball towards the far post which eventually fell for Mitchell Cole, who's shot was pushed down by Chuck Martini and then stabbed in by Dean Brennan.
If there is one thing you can say about Windsor is that they won't go down without a fight, and fight back is what they did just three minutes later.
Dave Carroll floated in a free kick which Guy Ekwalla headed down to Peter Holsgrove and the Windsor striker slotted past Ashley Baynes.
Both sides had chances to take the lead late on in the first half.
Guy Ekwalla let off one shot from 30 yards which scraped the top of the crossbar and Gary Hooper had two chances from a Lee Matthews corner, the first saved by Martini and the second went flying over.
Grays fitness started to show right from the start of the second half with Windsor struggling to get out of their own half.
The home side took the lead for a second time when Mitchell Cole got past Dave Tilbury and swung a cross to the far post where Gary Hooper headed in.
Cole turned provider again but this time his cross was missed by both Steve West and Griffiths. Dean Brennan managed to get the ball back across but Griffiths' header was well saved by Martini.
Windsor managed the odd break and they looked as though they were about to draw level when Paul Holsgrove original effort came off Jamie Stuart and as he went for the second attempt Stuart recovered to block that as well.
Grays all but secured the win mid way through the half when Griffiths walked though the Windsor defence before running into Paul Cook and the ball traveling through to Brennan who grabbed his second of the game.
If that goal hadn't made sure a fourth one definitely did when Joe Bruce's cross was headed in by Steve West.
It may have been a heavy defeat for Windsor, but they never gave up throughout the tie.
