HAT-TRICK HOLSGROVE CLIPS ANGELS WINGS
Windsor & Eton manager Dave Carroll walked away from Stag Meadow a very happy man after watching his side rack up a 4-1 win against Tonbridge Angels.
A hat-trick from Peter Holsgrove and another from Belal Aiteouakrim set the Royalists on their way to an impressive win.

Peter Holsgrove:- Hat-Trick Hero
It seems that the recent recruits made by Dave Carroll could have solved the current problems on the pitch.
Last weekend Joe Nartey, Fabian Forde and Belal Aiteouakrim all put in tremendous performances and with this weeks signing of Yeading's Michael Barima may just be enough to see Windsor safe.
Windsor could have got off to a flying start when Fabian Forde raced through but was denied by an on-rushing Jamie Turner.
Jamie Jarvis then hit a speculative 40 yard shot which, although Turner didn't make much of an effort to save it, only just skimmed the outside of the post.
Peter Holsgrove hit over after breaking down the left and beating Nick Humphrey.
Windsor were then forced to make a change when an un-well Lee Holsgrove replaced by Spencer Walsh.
The home side took the lead mid-way through the half with a wonderful passing display. Aiteouakrim slipped a superb ball through to Peter Holsgrove who then rolled the ball past Turner and in off the far post.
The lead was doubled just a couple of minutes later when Joe Nartey got through and turned to lay the ball of to Aiteouakrim.
Aiteouakrim's first shot was blocked but with the keeper still down after the first save he fired in at the second attempt.
Holsgrove came close to a second when he lobbed Turner only to find the wrong side of the roof of the net.
Nartey also came close on the stroke of half time when he and Kieron Wilson both trying to get on the end of Michael Barima's cross with the Tonbridge defender winning the battle.
There was a glimmer of a come back for Tonbridge when Leroy Huggins managed to put the ball in the net following a goalmouth scramble.
Windsor pushed to try and restore their two goal lead and Peter Holsgrove almost did just that when he volleyed over Forde's cross.
Richard Brady forced Chuck Martini into saving his effort after beating Jarvis.
Windsor did manage to regain their two goal cushion. Paul Holsgrove's long ball was picked up by Aiteouakrim who found Peter Holsgrove. The Windsor striker managed to get through the coupled of defenders in his way before shooting past Turner.
Holsgrove could have completed his ht-trick on a couple of occasions before he actually did.
First he went clean through and tried to slot the ball between the keepers legs but Turner managed to get just enough on the ball to enable him to claw it back.
Substitute Adam Crittenden then got clear and with only a defender to beat knocked the ball back to Holsgrove who sent the ball just wide of the post.
Holsgrove did complete the hat-trick on the stroke of full time when Aiteouakrim played him in again and Holsgrove slotted the ball past Turner.
