IRONS LEAVE IT LATE TO BEAT WINDSOR
It was another un-wanted result as Windsor & Eton went down 1-0 away at Braintree Town.
A single Gary Abbott goal late in the second half was enough to win th ematch for the Essex side.

This was always going to be a tough one for Windsor but somehow they managed to ride the onslaught directed at their goal.
Billy Burgess and Mark Graham provided the ammunition for Bradley Quinton, Alec Revell and Louis Riddle but a combination of poor finishing and their own players getting in the way saved Windsor.
By far Braitree's best chnace of the half came late on when Justin Skinner tried to clear the ball only for it to strike Ellis Remy's arm which set up Revell forcing Chuck Martini into a fine save.
Windsor could have finished the half ahead when some great build up play allowed Michael Barima to cross to Belal Aiteouakrim who's volley was pushed away by Danny Gay.
The second half was no differet. Braitree dominated and Windsor could have nicked it.
An early effort for Revell when he managed to turn Skinner after being put in by Mark Jones forced Martini into another fine save.
Windsor had a decent claim for a penalty when Jones upended Peter Holsgrove but nothing was given.
Braintree continued their domination and it was thanks to Jamie Jarvis that the socres stayed level for as long as they did as it was his goal line clearance that kept out Revell's shot from a Jones free kick.
Windsor's resistance was finally broken in the last ten minutes when Mark Graham's cross found the head of Gary Abbott and he found the back of the net.
