With a number of players missing from last seasons successful squad the management was forced to give late call ups to a number of younger players.

For the opening 15 minutes Windsor seemed to hold their own and came very close to taking the lead when John Venter just managed to tip Spencer Walsh's free kick over the bar.

From there the first half went downhill for the visitors as Farnborough took hold of the game.

Failure to deal with Bashiru Alimi's corner saw Paul Preston head goalwards and Iain Gardiner push the ball away only to see Steve Osei stab the ball in.

Midway through the half and the lead was doubled when Craig Turner was dispossessed by Darren Campbell and the Farnborough striker raced away before slotted past Gardiner.

On the stroke of half time the hosts added a third when Dayo Oshitola was left in acres of space to head in an Alimi corner.

Into the second half, and although Windsor started to play a lot better they couldn't prevent a fourth goal.

Preston raced through the defence and was left with only an on rushing Gardiner to beat and he lifted the ball over the keeper and in.

Windsor pushed on and when a corner was not cleared properly Daniel Blatchford hit a goal bound effort that Venter somehow tipped over the bar.

Windsor decided to change things around and introduced Gael Ramaen, Shane Fullbrook and Liam Simpkin who showed a lot of potential.

Venter again denied Walsh from another free kick further frustrating the Windsor side who had deserved get something on the score sheet.

They finally got the goal they deserved when James Edgerley had been brought down and a penalty awarded which Walsh duly slotted past Vetner.
