ROYALISTS HOLD DONS
Windsor & Eton managed a second game unbeaten as they were able to hold AFC Wimbledon to a 1-1 draw at the Fans Stadium.
Substitute Dwayne Plummer put the hosts ahead with Gavin Tomlin levelling a minute later.

Gavin Tomlin Netted His Third In As Many Games
With the Soccer AM cameras in attendance Windsor & Eton manager Dave Carroll was looking for another performance that saw his side pick up three points in mod-week.
He wasn't going to be dissapointed by the performance, altough he may have thought his side deserved more than a share of the points.
Windsor got straight at their hosts with new signing Solomon Taiwo breaking down the right, cutting inside the defender before attempting a shot and missing the ball.
It was another of Carroll's recent signings, Gavin Tomlin, that caused The Dons the most problems and when Steve Butler slipped Tomlin was left one on one with Andy Little who managed a decent save.
Taiwo then combined with fellow new signing Colin Baker when his cross was met by Baker and saved by Little.
Baker came close again just minutes later when his cross looped over Little and was only prevented from going in by a goal-line clearance from Dave Sargent.
The Dons got themselves back into the game and really should have taken the lead.
A free kick wasn't cleared and when Butler sent the ball back in Martin Carthy headed wide of a basically empty net.
Another chance fell to Wes Daly when he was picked out by Liam George and shot from the edge of the area forcing Kieron Drake to pull off a save after the ball bobbled off the bumpy surface.
Windsor ended the half on top and should have ended it with a goal after Baker ran through the Dons midfield and his deflected shot fell for Tomlin who's effort scraped the outside of the post.
Windsor came out early for the second half, as they have done for the past few games, and yet again it helped them get off to a flying start.
Taiwo's free kick was flicked on to Lee Holsgrove who managed to turn the ball onto the post before seeing it cleared.
Windsor were lucky not to concede penalty mid-way through the second half when substitute Paul Coyne fell over in his own box and landed on the ball with his arms wrapped round it.
The referee decided that there was no infringement and signalled for play to continue much to he dismay of the home supporters.
However they did take the lead moments later when Bultler's free kick found its way through to substitute Dwayne Plummer who slotted past Kieron Drake.
This sent the majority of the 3,158 strong crowd into a frenzy, even getting Soccer AM's Helen Chamberlain involved as she taunted co-presenter Tim Lovejoy.
The celebations lasted no more than a minute as Windsor got themselves level when Taiwo's free kick was knocked around like a pin ball in the Dons box until Tomlin popped up to score his third in as many games.
Windsor were left to soak up the pressure in the closeing minutes as the home side pushed for a winner.
Plummer had a header saved as did Daly who sent his over Drake only to be denied by Dave Tilbury who appeared out of knowhere.
