ROYALISTS BLOW LEAD TWICE
Windsor & Eton threw away a two goal lead at half time to go down 4-3 at home to Heybridge Swifts.
Solomon Taiwo and Dave Warner had given the home side the lead before Heybridge pulled level followed by Adam Wallace adding another from the spot.

Solomon Taiwo Scored His First Windsor Goal
Both sides battled with the swirling wind and it took a while for any real chances to develope in the match.
Heybridges' Paul Abbott managed to pick the ball up 30 yards from the Windsor goal and struck a shot that seemed destined for the top corner until Kieron Drake pulled of a wonder save.
Windsor had a better outcome with their first chance when Swifts failed to get the ball clear allowing Solomon Taiwo to crack a shot from 25 yards past Paul Nicholls for his first Windsor goal.
The lead was doubled just a couple of minutes later when neat passing between Dave Warne and Gavin Tomlin put Warner through who beat one defender before slotting past Nicholls.
Windsor could have gone in three up at half time had Taiwo not sent the ball over the bar from Timlin's cross.
Windsor manager Dave Carroll must have been hoping for more of the same in the second half but his side couldn't have got off the a worse start.
Simon Glover managed to run through the Windsor defence and then get off a shot that went past Drake.
Windsor weren't going to let that hold them back and when Tomlin sent Wallace though it looked like he had the beting of Erdem Artun who managed to get a perfectly timed challenge in as Wallace went to shoot.
Heybridge pulled level when the wind caused problems for a Swifts corner and when the ball was played back in Ian Cousins was able to turn the ball over the line.
Both sides pushed on to try and get themselves in front but it was the home side that would once again take the lead.
Tomlin's cross was met by the head of substitute Jon Case and as the ball seemed to be going in the net Russell Pono stuck out an arm to block it. He managed to get away with only a yellow card but also conceded a penalty.
Adam Wallace stepped up and cooley slotted the ball past Nicholls and it seemed that Windsor might be on course for a second win in three games.
That thought lasted for a little over five minutes as another corner caused Windsor problems and this time Artun was able to poke the ball home.
As the time ticked on the thought of a win turned to a well earned draw until five minutes into injury time when Richard Jolly hit a shot from the edge of the area past Drake.
