ROYALISTS HELD BY SWANS
Windsor & Eton are still looking for their first win if the season after racking up another draw, this time 1-1 at home to Walton & Hersham.
A late Lee Allum own goal after Tristan Fronton had put the visitors ahead spared Windsor's blushes in a match that also saw Jon Case stretchered off.

Jon Case Was Stretchered Off With Knee Injury
Windsor manager, Dave Carroll, was forced to leave out Justin Skinner through injury and along with the suspended Jamie Jarvis left him short at the back and decided to move Lee Holsgrove into the defence, and it seemed to work.
Both sides started well and it was the visitors that had the opening chance when Sam Keevill struck a free kick up and over the wall which was well held by Kieron Drake.
Windsor got their act together and Davis Warner struck a shot that almost grazed the top off the bar it looked like they might just turn this one round.
The home sides best chance of the game came from a superb piece of counter-attacking.
Spencer Walsh pulled off a superbly timed challenge on the edge of his own box to dispossess Bas Savage before the ball was cleared setting Adam Wallace through. Wallace shrugged of the challenge of Danny Lavender but was unable to beat Nick Gindre who recovered well.
The second half couldn't have got off to a worse start for Windsor as they lost the services of Jon Case when he was stretchered off after colliding with Gindre.
Early indications were that he would miss the rest of the season with a snapped cruciate ligament although it is now believed to be a lateral colateral ligament injury which could see the Windsor winger out for up to two months.
This didn't stop Windsor from looking for an opening and when a luck bounce saw Wallace go through a good save from Gindre kept the scores level.
Walton stepped up a gear and chances from Gary Haylook, which was blocked with a well timed Matt Davies challenge, and Wes Goggin, blocked superbly by Kieron Drake, kept the visitors in the hunt for the points.
They did go ahead on 75 minutes when a corner was only cleared to Lee Allum who crossed and Scott Edgar sent a looping header over Drake and into the net.
Edgar came close to adding a second when he was able to get off a shot that beat Drake and was cleared off the line by Dave Tilbury.
With time ticking away it looked as if Walton would be walking away with all the points, but there was one final twist in the game.
Paul Holsgrove managed to get down the right, into the area and just before reaching the line sent the ball across the goal and just as it looked to be going wide Allum managed to get a touch and send the ball into his own net.
Windsor will now have to go into Saturday's match with Chelmsford missing possibly five of their first choice players and still without a win.
