ROYALISTS HOLD GATE
Windsor & Eton picked themselves up after the weekends defeat to hold Margate to a 1-1 draw.
Danny Hockston's first half strike put Margate ahead with Lee Kersey levelling for Windsor.

Lee Kersey's Free Kick Levelled For Windsor
Windsor started very well with early chances for both Gavin Tomlin and Peter Holsgrove both being saved.
At the other end Jamie Jarvis' decision to leave Hasim Deen's ball over the defence let in Lee Protheroe but he couldn't get past Kieron Drake.
Jarvis himself came very close infront of the Margate goal when he gt his head to Lee Kersey's free kick and was only denied by the outstretched hand of Charlie Mitten.
Margate should have gone down to ten men when Hockston kicked out at Dave Tilbury. This was spotted by the linesman but refree McCoy decided just to speak to the Margate striker.
Another incident involving Tilbury did lead to Margate being reduced to ten when captain Bertie Brayley swung an arm across the face of Tilbury for which he was shown a red card.
Windsor couldn't make the man advantage count and just before half time Margate took the lead when Lawrence Yiga broke down the right and managed to get in a cross the Hockston turned in.
Margate started well in the second half with bot Hockston and Protheroe bith coming close to extending their lead.
Windsor thought they had levelled the scores on 65 minutes when Dave Warner beat Dean Standen and crossed for Adam Wallace who put he ball in the net on to see the linesmans flag raised.
Warner then came close thanks to a Kersey quick free kick and it was starting to look like Windsop would get their deserved goal.
It finally came with ten minutes to go when Windsor were awarded a free kick when Deen brought down Peter Holsgrove 25 yards out. Kersey stepped up and fired his free kick past Mitten for the equaliser.
Drake was on hand to deny Hockston a second goal late on to secure a point for his side.
