So pleased to have had over 250 views of my Belper United match updates. Maybe it was because we lost.
It's back to the league today with a tricky looking game against AFC Wulfrunians who are a decent side. We may be top of the league right now but we're not half way through the season yet. We really need to keep winning and not drop any unnecessary points as it is likely to be a tight finish come April, with several clubs capable of snatching the one promotion spot.
You are welcome to follow the independent live updates here and compare them with the Club's excellent twitter updates.

It's almost kick off time and It's very dull but not raining at the minute. The teams are out. Ilkeston are in all red, Wulfs in all blue One minute silence before the match. You could have heard a pin drop. Well done everyone.
We're off ......

White tripped on edge of area. Walker's free kick saved by Springthorpe. Wulfs break and Dixon has to head out for a corner. Wulf's defenders are up for the corner but the cross drifts out. It's even so far. 0-0 13 minutes

Best chance yet falls to Sterling but he lobs over the bar with just Mitchell to beat. Long range effort by Piliero but it's too high. Dixon is flattened and its a booking for Wulf's player. 0-0 23 minutes

Supporters are taking cover as the rain comes down and the lights come on. Marshall does really well to deflect Wilson's header away from goal. Wulfs are looking dangerous going forward. Great chance for Brady but he's offside. 0-0 30 minutes

Goal for Wulfs on 31 minutes scorer Chris Sterling

The goal has lifted the Wulfs. Sterling narrowly misses a cross when only a couple of yards from goal. This is Wulfs best spell. Corner to Wulfs is headed clear. Another corner to Wulfs but cleared again 0-1 40 minutes

Official gate 520. Fyfe through on goal with just the keeper to beat but he tries to pass and the chance has gone. He looked odds on to score. Good spell for Ilkeston just now GOAL Corner is forced home by Matt Baker 3-1 65 minutes

Brilliant run through the Wolf's defence by Tom Marshall but his shot is well saved by Springthorpe. 3-1 69 minutes

Late offside fag stops Fyfe. Fyfe header from Walker's cross is just wide. Ilkeston are looking for more goals. Great flick by Fyfe gives Reeves a chance but it's blocked. 3-1 78 minutes

It's handbags after Walker is caught by a flying hand. Only a yellow for Gregg. 3-1 80 minutes

Gregg and Walker have just shook hands Good to see. WULFS ARE TRYING TO GET FORWARD BUT LEAVING GAPS. Ilkeston look more like scoring again What a scramble in Ilkeston's goalmouth but they escape. Thats the closest Wulfs have been for a while. 3-1 87 minutes
