| ROYALISTS OUT OF TROPHY |
Windsor & Eton's 14 game unbeaten run finally came to an end in the FA Trophy with them losing 2-1 away at Blue Square South side Team Bath.
Mike Perrott netted twice for the home side in either half with Steve Butler pulling one back late on.
Just seven minutes had passed when Team Bath took the lead through Perrott when he managed to out-jump Ryan Parsons to loop a header over Rob Bullivant and into the net.
Josh Llewellyn then headed Marc Canham's free kick over the bar before a fine save from Bullivant kept out Sami El-Abd.
Windsor came out for the second half and looked as if they may start to cause their hosts a few problems but on 75 minutes Team Bath doubled their lead.
A rare mistake from Mark Cooper allowed Perrott to set himself before lobbing Bullivant for a second time.
Windsor pulled a goal back with five minutes left when Team Bath failed to clear Paul Coyne's corner and Steve Butler stabbed the ball in.
The tie came so close to requiring a replay in the dying minutes when another corner caused problems and Michael Chennells headed against the post.
Coyne sent the ball back into the box where Andrew Fagan managed to get his head to the ball only for it to be blocked on the line.
