Having rallied well in last weekend’s home win against Hammersmith & Fulham, a depleted Maidenhead fell to a 26-14 defeat at derby rivals Bracknell on Saturday.
Having secured promotion as one of the best runners up at level seven of the RFU League Pyramid with their victory at Wallingford a few weeks ago, Windsor celebrated that accomplishment a blistering 69-10 win over Reading Abbey at Home Park on the final day.
Windsor will finish their Counties 1 Tribute Southern North season in second place behind champions Oxford Harlequins 2nds - but the real question is can they force their way into the equation for promotion on the final day of the season.
The frozen conditions across the region made for an unexpectedly interesting afternoon at Braywick Park on Saturday, where Bracknell made a last-minute change of venue to play their game with promotion hopefuls Jersey RFC before Maidenhead's second team enjoyed an emphatic victory over Thatcham RFC.
