It's 15 minutes to kickoff and it's a 3G Pitch. Many Ilkeston fans are in fancy dress.

It's a slow start. All in midfield. Good clearance by Tom Marshall averts first danger. HANNIS HAS TO TURN OVER A 20 YARD EFFORT. Ilkeston still getting use to the 3G pitch.

Nothing from Ilkeston going forward so far. Goal for Chelmsley Jamie Barrett on 9 minutes 0-1

Nice goal by Chelmsley into top corner out of Hanniss reach. Walker does well down left but his cross is scrambled out for a corner as Ilkeston retaliate.

Chelmsley keeper comes out to head clear. Walker shot blocked as Ilkeston are doing better now. You can tell Chelmsley are used to the pitch creating some slick moves. still 0-1 20 minutes

Alex nearly through but he's penalised. Ilkeston struggling to create any chances. Long ball tactics not working for Ilkeston. Chelmsley are worth their lead. 0-1 25 minutes

Walker wins corner. Defender heads off line. Free kick to Ilkeston in good position. Good effort by Walker but Keeper pushes over. Chelmsley still dangerous going forward. Brilliant save by Maguire from Walker. That was Ilkeston's best move and chance. GOAL ILKESTON Jamie Walker 1-1. 32 minutes

Plenty of noise coming from behind the Chelmsley goal now. Brilliant double save from Maguire keeps it 1-1. the goal has lifted Ilkeston.

Another Ilkeston chance but Chelmsley escape despite keeper being way out of his goal. Ilkeston now more in control. Yet another great save by Maguire who is having an outstanding half. Hopkinson denied again by Maguire tip round post. Lovely Morris cross is missed by all. Strong finish the first half by Ilkeston but it's half time and 1-1.

Maguire comes out to grab ball at Alex's feet. Chelmsley get a shot in but its high and wide. Great play by Bennett but no one can connect to his inviting cross. Maguire saves again. Free kick to Ilkeston on edge of Dee. A real chance from this. GOAL ! TOM MARSHALL fires home the free kick. 2-1 54 minutes

Maguire punches clear. Ilkeston are now on top. Lench replaced by Malachi on 58 minutes

Terrific effort by Walker from 40 yards is just too high. Good effort by Gummery drifts only just wide of the post. Superb cross by Bennett met first time by Malachi but its inches wide. 2-1 67 minutes
Offline
Another great cross by Bennett who is doing really well down the left flank. Ilkeston are on top but we need another goal. Hopkinson replaced by Clark 73 minutes

Two successive corners to Ilkeston come to nothing. Into added time

It took Ilkeston a while to get used to the 3G pitch during which Chelmsley took the lead through Jamie Barrett. Once Ilkeston equalised through Jamie Walker, the Robins dominated and only a superb goalkeeping display from veteran keeper Peter Maguire kept Chelmsley in the match. He made a string of outstanding saves throughout the game. Ilkeston's winning goal came from a Tom Marshall free kick through a crowded goalmouth. Ilkeston couldn't add to that despite their total dominance. My man of the match for Ilkeston : Bill Bennett.
