FOOTBALL: Chico's late save denied Abingdon
11:38pm Tuesday 19th August 2008
Abingdon United failed to add to their opening day victory in Division 1 South & West as they went down at Windsor & Eton in a scrappy encounter.
Neither side could manage a single shot on target in a first half which saw defences on top.
Things improved after the break and Windsor went close in the 55th minute when Ben Porter headed wide.
Six minutes later, they bagged the only goal on 44 minutes when Porter beat the Abingdon offside trap and scored from a narrow angle.
Anaclet Odhiambo was denied a certain equaliser by a point-blank save from Chico Ramos, who also foiled the follow-up effort.
Abingdon Utd: Farrow, Burton, Organ, Davis, Woodley, McCalmon, J Parker (Janes 75), Herbert, Holden (Beechers 67), Odhiambo, Curtin (Austin 80). Subs not used: Franklin, Johnson.
