The strong wind was a major factor in helping both sides and it was in Windsor's favour for the first half, although it was Folkestone who carved out the first real opportunity.

Both Mario Cenolli and John Guest went up for Steve Norman's free kick which was missed by the Windsor keeper and headed goalward by Simon Glover and off the line by Paul Holsgrove.

Windsor then took full advantage of the conditions, pinning Folkestone into their half and getting themselves in front.

Peter Holsgrove's shot was blocked allowing Terry O'Connor to set up Paul Holsgrove who hit a 25 yard drive that clipped the post and went in.

Adam Crittenden forced Tony Kessell into a superb save after being put through by Peter Holsgrove.

The lead was doubled midway through the half when Kessell flapped at a Dave Carroll corner and was met by Jamie Jarvis who stabbed the ball in for his first Windsor goal.

Peter Holsgrove came close to adding a third when he collected a cross from Terry O'Connor and shot from outside the area clipping the wrong side of the post.

Windsor were then forced to substitute the lively Adam Crittenden after he picked up what looked like a knee injury and was replaced by Symon James.

The second half saw a total change with Windsor spending most of the time in their own half due to the high winds and riving rain.

Andrew Burke was the first to make use of the conditions when he stuck a shot which Cenolli did extremely well to push wide.

Folkestone thought they had taken the lead on 68 minutes when John Guest's quick free kick was sent into the box by Scott Lindsey and when Cenolli and James Pryden went up for the ball both keeper and ball ended up in the net resulting in a Windsor free kick.

Paul Lamb then hit an effort from all of 40 yards which flew past Cenolli and came crashing back off the cross bar.

They did manage to halve the deficit on 75 minutes when Steve Norman's free kick was headed goalward and in off the bar by James Pryden.

Folkestone were gifted a chance to level the score when a long ball from Tony Kessell was headed on by Windsor substitute Morgaro Gomis and assistant referee Mr. Collins indicated an offside which was over ruled by referee Mr. Scott.

James Pryden continued goalward's with Cenolli rushing towards the assistant referee leaving the goal gaping and he put his effort wide.

Going into the last five minutes of the match saw one Folkestone spectator go a little too far.

A big clearance from Kessell went straight through to Cenolli who fumbled and the ball went out for a corner.

On trying to retrieve the ball from the spectators he had it thrown in his face, an incident that was noted by referee Scott.

From the corner came Folkestone's best chance of equalising when they were awarded a penalty for a push by Dave Tilbury.

Paul Sykes stepped up to take the penalty that was superbly saved by Cenolli.

Keith Scott could have settled the match in injury time when Paul Holsgrove set him away but a poor first touch saw the ball run through to Kessell.
