Croxon continues striking it rich

The 'Toes' have lacked results the past couple of weeks, they looked to change this against Windsor away. However, this game didn't start as planned with car issues and Diggers questionable time keeping meant that we started the game with just one not fully fit Steve Taylor as sub.

Windsor made the most of our unprepared start with an early goal. Although this wasn't the case for long as 'Shar', Paul Neyton, smashed the ball into the D leading to a goal line scramble for a Croxon finish to put the Red and Black Army on level terms.

Despite his injury Steve Taylor managed to control a ball pinged to him by 'Bal', Baldeep Ghatore, slotting it in the bottom corner to take the lead. Despite several other chances from our forwards the half ended without another goal.

The second half saw more of the same with us dominating and having the lion's share of chances, Ryan smashing a shot home from a short corner to make it 3-1.

However, this is where we started to lose our legs and a green for Stephen Forster followed by a yellow for Croxon lead to Windsor creating more and more chances. Eventually managing to claw back two goals bringing the scores level.

The Red and Black Army never say die attitude meant we kept creating chances right up to the end of the game but failed to convert.

Mom: Stephen law great dribbling and winning of the ball
DOD: Digger for turning up late
