Windsor were set to give new signing Ralf Little his first start but due to a major accident on the M4 he arrived 30 minutes into the game and took his place on the bench.

Maldon enjoyed early domination in the match but were unable to make their chances count.

Windsor, on the other hand, only had one meaningful chance in the opening 45 minutes.

Lee Charles managed to find Jon Case on the right hand side and his cross was just inches away from the outstretched leg of Adam Wallace.

The second half went more in the favour of the home side with Windsor, like Maldon in the first, having very good chances.

Craig Lewingtons free kick was only cleared to Charles and his shot was somehow tipped over by Dave McCartney.

Maldon hand a good shout for a penalty with an hour gone when Finlay Doney tussled with Kris Lee as the Maldon striker was about to score.

From the resulting corner the Windsor defence managed to block an effort on the line and with that the home side broke away.

James Edgerley broke down the left and his cross was met by the head of Charles and put over by a Maldon defender.

Late in the half all the traffic was heading towards the Maldon goal.

First, Jon Case had an effort blocked and then the rebound went over.

Then Edgerley was away down the left again, this time he cut inside and managed to get a very good shot away that took a deflection and went just wide of the post.

From the corner it looked as if Windsor had taken the lead when Lee Charles looked to have got enough on the ball to send it over the line but the officials had other ideas.

With just moments remaining Lee Charles managed to set up Paul Coyne but McCartney pulled off another wonderful save.

Another corner and another close call with Paul Holsgrove hitting wide this time.
