CHIPPENHAM re-established their winning habit as Windsor were dismissed 22-10 In South West Two East at Allington Field.
A 3-0 home defeat by Marlow before Christmas had ended the Wiltshire side's seven-match unbeaten run, but Chippenham got back on track with a brace of tries from wing Darren McMillan.
They opened the scoring through a tapped penalty, centre Grant Trewartha finding McMillan who went over.
Then a well-executed move by the backs resulted in full-back David Spiers breaking through the Windsor defence and releasing McMillan to go over for his second, captain Crockett adding the conversion.
Windsor stepped up a gear and replied with a try in the corner, but Chippenham led 12-5 at the break.
Windsor started the second half well and again applied pressure, yielding a second try for the visitors.
Chippenham then had two players then sin-binned in quick succession, but the hosts showed a huge amount of spirit and kept out several Windsor attacks on their own line.
In the last quarter, it was Chippenham's turn to pressurise Windsor and a penalty kick was slotted over by Spiers.
He then set up the final try of the match, picking up the ball and spearheading a counter-attack.
Spiers released veteran winger Jocelyn Barnes, who weaved his way around the waiting tackles before finding flanker Gary Squires, who scored under the posts.
Spiers added the conversion to round it off.
Coach Mark Coombs said: "The lads coped very well with the pressure of playing with 13 players for a period of 10 minutes.
"Windsor were not able to take advantage and score in this period which is a credit to our defence.''
