We went to Morpeth hoping for a win and we did it due to a superb first half performance which we dominated. A 2-0 lead was the least we deserved after keeping the ball for long periods and creating several chances. Walker scored from the spot after being taken out by keeper Langley then Dixon doubled the lead with a low flick with his back to goal. When Morpeth went down to 10 players after the red card, a win seemed a formality but the hosts did better in second half and after their late goal there was a chance they might steal a point. but it was Ilkeston who looked more like scoring again and Dixon and Fox could have made the game safe. We should have won by a more convincing score but nevertheless its three points in the bag and a great start to the season.
