DERBY SPOILS SHARED
Windsor & Eton and Slough Town had to be content with sharing the points in this rather interesting derby match.
Slough took the lead three times with goals from Ian Hodge (2) and Glen Harris with Dave Warner, Adam Wallace and keeper Kieron drake scoring for Windsor.

Kieron Drake Scored From His Own Box
The game had hardly started when Slough opened the scoring. Andy Ballard's throw was only cleared as far as Michael Alexis and his effort was spilled by Drake and follwoed in by Ian Hodge.
Adam Wallace twice came close to pulling level, his first effort was well saved by Clark Masters and his second cleared off the line.
Slough were then forced into an early change when an earlier collision with Ian Hodge saw Charlie Idle carried off.
A fine save from he head of Hodge by Drake kept Windsor in the game and a couple of minutes later Windsor had a deserved equaliser.
Paul Coyne's thrown found Gavin Tomlin and his cross was first missed by Wallace but Dave Warner slid in at the far post to put the ball in the net.
Tomlin then fired a shot past Masters post, but despite the efforts of Windsor it was the 'home' side that went in ahead at half time.
A mistake by Coyne let in Gareth McCleary and his cross was put in by substitute Glen Harris.
Slough were gifted a chance to kill the game off a minute after half time when McCleary again found Harris but this time he fired well over the bar.
Windsor pulled level for the second time within five minutes of the restart.
Spencer Walsh's cross was cleared to Lee Kersey who's shot was blocked only a couple of yards from goal allowing Adam Wallace to knock the ball in.
The scores weren't level for too long as Slough managed to get themselves in front for the third time in the match.
Leon Wooduffe did well to keep the ball under pressure and release Hodge who managed to lift the ball over an on rushing Drake.
It took just 2 minutes for Windsor to get their third equaliser of the game and it came from the most unlikely of sources.
Kieron Drake launched the ball out of his hands and as the ball seemed to be going harmlessly towards Masters it bounced over his head, past Steve Daly and into the goal.
Not only was Drake keeping his side in the game by putting the ball in the net he had his normal duties to perform in keepering he ball out of his own. Three superb saves late on kept Windsor in the game.
Coyne and Warner both came very close with efforts that forced Masters into good saves and Jamie Jarvis should have won the game in injury time when Walsh's free kick fell for the Windsor defeder who struck just wide.
