Matchman · 17/8/2021 3:09 PM

.

Tonight we welcome Sporting Khalsa to the NMG for our first home league game. Ourselves and Khalsa won our opening games so both teams will be hoping to build on that.
Khalsa are newly promoted to Step 4 so will be looking to establish themselves at this level.
For ilkeston, this season is all about challenging for promotion to Step 3. We got off to flying start on Saturday with a superb victory at Stamford and we now need to take the momentum from that win forward. Those who went to Stamford know how well we played and will expect a repeat performance but every game is different and tonight will be a difficult match.

For those who cannot get to tonight's game as well as those who are at the game, there will be the usual match updates and team news as soon as we receive it. We also hope to provide score updates from other matches in our league.

We at WhiteBall are proud of the 900 plus views we received for our coverage of the Stamford match. We would really like more people to join in with the after match comments so why not join us.

Yellow for Troke. Nothing is coming off for Ilkeston. Khalsa deserve their lead. It's so frustrating. 2-3 76 mins

Goodson volley from Troke cut back deserved a goal but it flashes the wrong side of the post. 2-3 80 mins

Matchman · 17/8/2021 8:41 PM

Khalsa are wasting time at every opportunity but who can blame them. Ilkeston need a lucky break but its not happening. Fenton shot is well wide. Its almost time. Carvell brought down in flight. Free kick corner of penalty area. Last chance saloon.
