Witney were unable to maintain the pressure after an excellent first half and fell 24-7 away to third-placed Windsor in South West 1 East on Saturday.

Under the shadow of Windsor Castle, Witney seemed inspired and took a 7-0 lead with a jinking try from fly half Matt Clarke.

Henry Lamb, who missed three penalty goal attempts, converted for 7-0.

Just before half-time, the hosts replied with an unconverted try from their scrum half.

After taking a 12-7 lead with a try next to the posts, Windsor dominated the match and moved out of reach with two well-constructed tries, one of which was converted.

In the last 15 minutes, Witney found new energy, but basic errors and over-eagerness spoiled their chances.
