95 mins) Keeper gathered the ball under pressure at the death to keep Windsor at bay and secure a fine second half defensive display to leave Windsor suspended.

89 mins) Free-kick for Windsor, everyone forward but it's cleared.

SUB 86 mins) Simon Millard on for Luke Ballinger.

81 mins) The pressure continues to mount but Frome have been strong at the back, for once Jamie Cheesman didn't head clear and Steve Butler headed wide from 10 yards, only a half chance.

78 mins) Corner half cleared, dinked back in by Wilson but glanced wide as Frome survive again.

SUB 76 mins) Marcus Richardson on for Gavin Smith.

SUB 74 mins) Mike Thompson on for Ricky Hillbert for Frome.

72 mins) the game is still delicately poised as Windsor have applied more pressure but Frome are hardly sitting back.

66 mins) A breather for both sides as Calum Henry receives treatment for what looks like a muscle injury as there was no challenge on him.

62 mins) Windsor have cranked it up of late and the keeper saved well from Thomas as well as Osobu having an effort bllocked and the Windsor bench furious at no free-kick on the edge of the box for a check on Osobu.

51 mins) After Windsor's positive start tot he second half, Frome hit them on the break by Ballinger dragged it wide.

48 mins) Windsor go close when Matt Peters shinned an attempted clearance just wide of his own goal with the keeper beaten.

HALF TIME: Goalless at Stag Meadow but no shortage of entertainment with Mark Salter hitting the post for the visitors and keeper Dafydd Jones producing some fine stops at the other end, the best from Scott Thomas.

45 mins) On the stroke of half time, Osobu chested the ball for Wilson who played in Jake Parsons but again the keeper did well to push it away.

44 mins) Windsor have amassed the corners but the keeper and defence have done well in dealing with them in the wind.

43 mins) Great hasslinmg from Bruce Wilson released Smith who did well, held it up then fired across for Jake Parsons but it was headed clear.

39 mins) Frome survive a goalmouth scramble but it was only cleared to Thomas whose shot is bound for the top corner but Jones did brilliantly to claw it away as it came through a crowd of players.

38 mins) Even contest between two in-form sides in difficult conditions.

33 mins) Scott Thomas rifled across goal and Smith glanced it wide from close range at the far post.

30 mins) Osobu got in behind again and held it up before finding Jake Parsons but his cross-shot goes harmlessly wide.

28 mins) Frome go close as a cross from the right is turned on to the post by Mark Salter.

26 mins) Keeper Daffyd Jones elected to punhc a shot from Seedel out rather than catching it but he got away with it as the defence cleared.

23 mins) Gavin Smith has done excellently to win soem flick ons and this time Osobu's cut back is put out for a corner which comes to nothing.

17 mins) Best chance of the game fell to Frome's Luke Ballinger who had time to take down a long throw into the box but scuffed his shot straight at Rob Bullivant from eight yards.

14 mins) Osobu ran at the defence who backed off but the striker's curler went harmlessly over.

10 mins) Osobu's pace over the top has already worried the Frome back line.
