TROWBRIDGE were edged out in a tight South West One East tussle in Berkshire as the match survived poor weather conditions and an 8.30am pitch inspection.

The visitors persisted with their expansive style of play, while the home side kept the ball within their big pack to good effect, on several occasions driving the Trowbridge forwards back 30 metres.

The only score of the game came after 20 minutes when Windsor, after another powerful forward drive, moved the ball out to their half backs who broke left, catching the Trowbridge defence out.

A three-on-two situation saw the ball spread out to their left wing and then back inside to scrum-half Rhys Davies, who finished off the move touching down to the left of the posts, only for captain and fly-half Neil Bagget to miss the conversion.

Both sides were unable to break through each other’s defences, causing frustration and leading to yellow cards for Trowbridge's Lloyd Davis and Windsor number seven Aaron McGroaty just before half time.

Windsor kicked off the second half but immediately Trowbridge right wing Ashley Chalk put in a long kick and chase taking play up to the Windsor try line only to be denied a try by some good defence from Gary Morgan, the home full-back.

With both sides back to full strength, the visitors started to get the better of the tiring home pack.

But despite turning down several kickable penalties to go to touch and dominating the lineouts, they were unable to break through the home defence.
