Well spotted Alex.
Yes, Ilkeston's opponents (Leiston) and Alvechurch's opponents (Coalville) on the 17th December are still in the FA Trophy therefore both Ilkeston and Alvechurch would be without a game. So it's an ideal opportunity to play our away fixture against Alvechurch which should have been played on 29th October but was postponed.

Ilkeston Town  2  Barwell  0
Ilkeston produced one of their most dominant performances in the first half but a super strike from Declan Eratt-Thompson was their only reward. The match result stayed in doubt until Montel Gibson hit a late stunner to settle the nerves and bring to an end Barwell's five game unbeaten run.
A chance fell to Gibson in the first minute but he sliced his effort wide, Then at the other end Beck-Ray Enoru fired over. As Ilkeston took control, Barwell keeper Andy Wycherley did really well to stop Remaye Campbell from scoring before Lamine Sherif’s effort was deflected wide. Barwell were being forced to defend and a Chris O’Grady header from Errat-Thompson’s cross was just too high. Wycherley then produced an excellent save to deny Dempsey Arlott-John. It took until 37 minutes for the break through but Eratt-Thompson’s first goal for the club was a gem. On receiving the ball 25 yards out he wasted no time in lashing a thunderbolt into the top corner. Barwell had a chance before half time when George Ward headed wide but Ilkeston deserved more than a one goal half time advantage.
Barwell were much better in the second half and had two good chances. First, Jahvan Davidson-Miller crashed a fine effort against the crossbar then Jack Deakin fired wide from a good position. As Barwell’s threat began to increase Gibson produced the second stunning goal of the game for Ilkeston. He worked himself into a shooting position some 25 yards out and let fly  with a rocket that gave Wycherley no chance. Sherif almost made it three after Reco Fyfe made the opening but his fierce shot flew the wrong side of the post. The visitors could have got one back in added time but Enoru lifted his opportunity over the bar.
