Live updates as usual tomorrow. Like Ilkeston, Shepshed are still in with a chance of promotion so it's going to be a tough match. After last Saturday's defeat against Lye Town, this is a must win game for Ilkeston.
Walsall Wood are only 3 points behind us and they are feeling increasingly confident that they can catch us and steal the coveted promotion spot from our grasp. They will be joint top tomorrow if we lose and they win. Walsall Wood play next to bottom club Dunkirk so should pick up 3 points.
Sporting Khalsa have a tricky home game against Coventry Sphinx.

First chance to Shepshed from a free kick. Bennett heads clear. Bennett throw in goes right into goalmouth but keeper collects GOAL Jamie Walker fires in a great shot from the edge of the area. 1-0 7 minutes

Wilson does really well for Shepshed in the Ilkeston penalty area but excellent defending by Tom Marshall robs him. Good retaliation by Shepshed after going behind. 1-0 14 minutes

Good Ilkeston attack initiated by Tom Marshall but Shepshed eventually clear. Billy Bennett gets a yellow. Ganley races out to win the ball from Dixon. Wheatley sets Walker away but Ganley collects his cross. 1-0 22 minutes

Ilkeston are worth their lead. Nothing from Shepsheds forwards for a while. Good run by Reeves and he forces a corner. Taken short and it nearly produces a goal. The ball seemed to hit a Shepshed player on the goal line without him knowing too much about it. Scary moment when Mitchell has to race out and doesn't connect properly. 1-0 29 minutes

Bennett has to head clear following a rare Shepshed break. Fyfe just offside when in a good position. Early substitution by Shepshed. Great save by Ganley. 1-0 33 minutes

Corner to Shepshed comes to nothing as ref blows for pushing. Dixon booked - must have disagreed with decision. Good header by Melbourne but Mitchell grabs on the line. 1-0 43 minutes
