The dozen going to the game will now have to make twice as much noise as the usual support to make up for their absence. I am sure that all the club officials will chip in with an extra high level of volume despite sitting in the posh seats. I have a feeling we can get something out of this game but if we get stuffed I will deny ever posting this!

Ilkeston team  :
Durrant, Kenworthy, Coleman, Morris, Baker, Bather, Rose, Gordon, Lavelle-Moore, Brown, Goddard.

Subs  ; Walters, Gamblin, Clarke, Owen, Dwyer.

Ilkeston are defending the stand end.  We're off

Brown wins header but is penalised. Bather has to head away to clear danger.  5 minutes gone , no chances yet

GOAL! for Ilkeston smashed in by Ben Morris. Ilkeston's first real attack Goal time 10 minutes.

Marine no. 7 injured after accidental clash with Kenworthy.  Goal Ilkeston ! two attacks two goals Luis Rose shot is deflected past keeper. Announced as own goal. 2-0 after 22 minutes.

good save by Durrant on 25 minutes. Marine fighting back  Goal Marine on 27 minutes Lucky like Ilkeston's second. Shot hit Danny Gordon which wrong footed Durrant. It's 2-1.

Ilkeston now pressing.  Apparently the defection was off Rory Coleman not Danny Gordon, my mistake. Half hour gone 2-1.

Goal 2-2 on 35 minutes

Marine still pressing on 40 minutes. 

Half time 2-2.

The sun has now gone. Marine's turn to attack and Durrant has to save. Great chance for Marne as their forward gets past Durrant but the angle is too narrow.  50 minutes gone.

Marine player has left the field to change his boots.   Durrant takes the ball off marine forward's toe. dangerous moment for Ilkeston. Hour gone still 2-2..

Malachi almost gets through. Another outstanding save for Durrant at other end.

Marine look more likely to score as Ilkeston are forced back. 70 minutes gone
