The visitors looked lively from the start but were unable to penetrate the Tiverton defence.

Their best chance came when Dave Carroll's free kick was fumbled by keeper Mark Ovendale, but no one was able to get to the ball before Ovendale recovered.

Carroll had more luck with his next set piece as Ovendale was unable to take the ball under pressure from Jamie Jarvis allowing Paul Holsgrove to hook the ball back across the goal.

Adam Wallace and Steve Winter both went up for the ball and Winter palmed it away conceeding a penalty which Wallace calmly placed past Ovendale.

Winter was lucky to get off with no booking of any kind from the referee, something that was to happen throughout the match.

Tiverton came stright at Windsor after the re-start but efforts from Mike Booth, Chris Holloway and James Mudge all went the wrong sides of the posts.

Windsor were forced into an early change when Paul Holsgrove landed awkwardly damaging his ankle, and it was why they were wiating to make this change thet Tiverton equalised.

Booth got down the right and played in Mudge and his slight touch found its way to Stewert Yetton who slotted past Kieron Drake.

Tiverton kept up the pressure in the second half and had plenty of opportunities to get ahead.

Mudge managed to shake off Jarvis and Skinner before having his shot pushed round the post by Drake.

Mudge then hit a free kick round the Windsor wall that beat Drake and clipped the post before going behind.

Tiverton then lost the services of Chris Holloway when he was stretchered off after a challenge from Lee Holsgrove.

The change didn't alter the pressure that the home side were putting on their guests and mid-way through the half took the lead.

Yetton managed to get a cross in from the corner which Drake could only push behond Lee Kersey allowing Mudge to control the ball before hitting it past Drake.

It got even worse for Windsor just minutes later when Steve Daly's challenge on Craig Lewington resulted in the Windsor midfielder being stretcher off with a 2 inch gash in his leg which required 8 stitches.

Windsor had already used all three of the substitutes leaving them to play the last fifteen minutes with just 10 men.

Despite being a man down Windsor could have earned themselves a replay in the final few minutes.

Jarvis got clear of the Tiverton defence and his effort was blocked by Ovendale who id well to recover to save the follow up effort from Paul Coyne.

Deep into injury time and Windsor were almost gifted a replay when Coyne sent the ball across goal and Winter managed to get a boot to it and turn it onto his own bar.

windsor can now turn their attentions to getting their league season back on track and the start of their FA Trophy campaign.
