FULL-TIME Windsor 4 (Ryan O'Toole 40mins 56, Michael Chennells 52, 92) - 4 ( Doug Ford 3, Ross Chalke 30, Nemo Adams 37)

STAR striker Michael Chennells lead an inspired Windsor comeback against 10-men Molesey at Stag Meadow this afternoon.

The hosts were at sixes and sevens early on against a well drilled and well organised Molesey side who exposed Windsor's weak link down the left.

Keith Scott's side could not string two passes together as Molesey shot into a three goal lead thanks to efforts from Doug Ford, Ross Chalke and Nemo Adams.

However, Ryan O'Toole gave Windsor a lifeline from penalty spot four minutes before the break.

Man of the match Chennells pulled another back seven minutes into the second period and Ryan O'Toole levelled soon after.

Molesey were reduced to 10-men when Joe Pratley-Jones was unlucky to see red for a full blooded challenge on Robert Lazarczcuk.

But the momentum was always with Windsor and Chennells sealed the points with a 92nd minute bullet header.

It is that kind of spirit that will no-doubt keep Windsor in the title race.

HALF-TIME

Windsor 1 (Ryan O'Toole 40mins) - 3 ( Doug Ford 3mins, Ross Chalke 30mins, Nemo Adams 37)

It is men against boys so far this afternoon at Stag Meadow as a ragged Windsor side are being dominated by a well drived, well motivated Molesey side.

Jake Parsons and Joe Chandiram's abscence from midfield is clear to see as Windsor, who have players playing in unsual roles down the left, have been pulled apart three times.

First, Doug Ford looped over Bullivant for a third-minute lead.

Ross Chalke doubled the advantage after half an hour after Fergus Moore could not get close enough to challenge.

And Nemo Adams made it three on the counter.

A Ryan O'Toole penalty four minutes before the break, after the same player was tripped inside the box, has given Windsor slender hope of salvaging something from the game but the second-half performance will need to be a remarkable improvement.

GGGGOOOALLLL!!!!

Windsor 0 -3 Molesey

3:34pm

Molesey good value for their two goal lead as Windsor still unable to settle and get any real possession.

"Sixes and Sevens" is a phrase that come to mind and manager Keith Scott has work to do if it remains like this at half-time.

3:30pm

Windsor 0 - 2 (Ford 3mins, Ross Chalke 30mins)

Windsor FC's midfield will be weakend without Jake Parsons and Joe Chandiram who no doubt would have started for the visit of Molesey today.

And Windsor's small squad means only three subs can be named this afternoon. Although youngster Robert Lazarczuk impressed during the Berks & Bucks victory over Newport Pagnell Town on Monday.

2:45pm Team News

Molesey FC: Wester Young, Doug Ford, Luke Elliot, Andy Graves (c), Kristian Webb, Joe Pratley-Jones, Nemo Adams, Billy Pamment, Arnold Tawoaezvi, Dariush Hervai, Ross Chalke.

Subs: Louis Taylor, Joe Grant, Paul Cross, Jordan McCartney, Tom Dilloway.

2:39pm Team News

Windsor FC: Rob Bullivant, Andrew Fagan, Fergus Moore, Dave Tilbury, Chris Ellis, Kyle Anthony, Ben Porter, Yashwa Romeo, Michael Chennells, Ryan O'Toole, Ryan Parsons (c)

Subs: Adam Dickens, Ryan Ashe, Robert Lazarczuk.

Midfielders Jake Parsons and Joe Chandiram have failed to recover from minor knocks picked up against Newport Pagnell Town on Monday and Hanworth Villa last weekend so miss out today.

Captain Ryan Parsons pushes up to the left wing while Ben Porter moves into a central midfield position with Kyle Anthony.

WINDSOR FC welcome Molesey to Stag Meadow this afternoon looking to get their Combined Premier title challenge back on track after last weekend's 2-2 draw at Hanworth Villa.

The fledgling club slipped 11 points behind leaders and defending champions Guildford City when conceding a two-goal half-time lead at Rectory Meadow.

Today's visitors Molesey have been in good form of late winning six of their eight league fixtures since the start of December, including 4-0 home wins over Banstead Athletic, Chessington & Hook United and high-flyers Camberley Town.

But the Moles were beaten 3-0 at Badshot Lea last weekend and now sit sixth in the division 13 points behind Windsor.

Manager Keith Scott is expected to welcome back defender Andrew Fagan and midfielder Joe Chandiram after the pair missed out on Monday's Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy quarter-final win against Newport Pagnell Town with minor injuries.

Midweek substitutes Ben Porter and Yashwa Romeo should have fully recovered from knocks while new-signing Adam Dickens is back available after being cup tied for the visit of Newport.
