With both sides already relegated and Maldon guarenteed to finish above Windsor the game was nothing more than a formality.

But, a formality or not, Windsor got themselves on top of the match right from the start.

An early shot from Gavin Tomlin was blocked on the line and the follow up from Dave Warner went just wide of the post.

Tomlin then hit a 25 yard effort that beat keeper Bradley King only to come back off the post.

Windsor continued to press for their deserved opening goal and when Spencer Walsh's croner was cleared to Warner he sent the ball back towards the goal but Adam Wallace was unable to get his head to it.

Despite Windsor being on top for the opening half hour, it was Maldon who took the lead with a what happened next? moment.

Kieron Drakes kick hit the back of the referee on the half way line allowing Whelpdale to run the ball at the Windsor defence and get off a shot that took a heavy deflection off of Will Dunlop before going past Drake.

Maldon were not just lucky to be in front but they were also lucky to finish the half with eleven players as keeper Bradley King escaped with a yellow card when he handled outside his area.

Into the second half and Windsor got themselves level in the opening couple of minutes.

Adam Wallace managed to pick out Tomlin on the edge of the area and his effort went straight under the diving body of King.

The rest of the game turned into a midfield battle until the final five minutes when Windsor got the winner.

Dave Warner made a run through the middle into the box where he was clipped and although he didn't go down referee Moffat decided there was enough cause to award a penalty.

Wallace stepped up to bag his 14th of the season and to finish Windsor's season with a win.

There was still time for drama for Maldon when Tim O'Reilly and Dave Tilbury collided resulting in O'Reilly being carried off with a suspected cruciate ligament injury.
