We got what we wanted ie a replay but can't help thinking that we should have won it.  Three minutes from time and Cursons had the goal at his mercy.  We watched his shot and waited for the net to ripple. But on this occasion it went wide.  It would have been tough on Hereford who were in the ascendency at the time. 
To draw against a team 5th in the National League North is no mean achievement and we saw in the second half that Hereford could play so we did well to hold on for a replay. Yet another goal from Tom Cursons. He scores all of our goals.

The Cup replay takes precedence over the league match so the replay is Tuesday 17th September


Don't know if we'll get the same match officials for the replay but I thought the referee on Saturday was excellent.

FA Cup - 2nd Qualifying Round 
Hereford 1  Ilkeston Town  1 
Ilkeston came close to producing a Cup upset against National League North, Hereford, after Tom Cursons’s 9th goal of the season had put them ahead. The Robins had to withstand some late pressure but held on for a second chance at the NMG.
Ilkeston started well and it was difficult to tell which side was from a higher league. The first real chance of the game fell to Hereford’s Usifu Ceesay but he dragged his shot wide. Ilkeston debutant George Wilkinson then did well to prevent a scoring opportunity for Hereford after Alex Babos set Tate Campbell free. Tom Cursons had Ilkeston’s first chance but his shot was over the bar. Ilkeston’s second debutant Jordan Stevens hit a powerful effort which Hereford keeper couldn’t hold but then reclaimed. Hereford hit back with a Campbell effort which went wide and a Kyle Howkins header which was saved by Owen Mason before Babos spurned a good opportunity by lifting the ball over the bar. As half time approached Harvey Kirby-Moore created the opportunity for Cursons to slot the ball past Aaron Chapman and give Ilkeston an interval lead.
Hereford started the second period the stronger and Ceesay’s cross was headed just wide by Ahkeem Rose. On 65 minutes the Bulls drew level when Rose’s effort crashed against the post and Ceesay slammed home the rebound. Hereford then started to get on top but Ilkeston had a chance to retake the lead after a mix up between defenders Hawkins and Hudson allowed Cursons to break free before firing wide. On 82 minutes Hereford had a big penalty shout when Aaron Skinner went over in the box but he made too much of it and was booked for simulation, a decision not appreciated by the Bulls supporters. Three minutes from time Cursons could have won the game for Ilkeston. A well timed run saw him one on one with Chapman but his effort went the wrong side of the post. Right at the death Mason saved a cracker from Campbell and Ilkeston had the replay they deserved. 


 

I thought the new lad, George Wilkinson (playing at centre- half) and Callum Minkley, filling in at right-back, we're terrific. How did TC miss those chances? We should be in the hat for the next round without needing a replay. Deaks' thoughts...

Problem is mate TC doesn't score goals like that. He only scores goals like the one he got on Saturday
