    Sat 17 January 26 : Ilkeston v Lancaster City : NMG ko 3pm

    .
    Our next game is at home to Lancaster City who are currently 6th in the league table, just outside the playoff places.
    Lancaster have the 4th best away record in the league 

    Their overall record is   P23. W10. D6. L7. F.31 A24 . Pts36
    Their away record is.    P12.  W5.  D3. L4. F18. A14.  Pts18

    in Sep/ Oct they held top spot for 5 weeks and they have been in the top six all season.

    However they have recently hit a bad patch and have picked up only one point in their last 4 matches so maybe its a good time to be playing against them.

    Lancaster's last 4 matches:
    13 Dec '25   Rylands             (A) Lost  0-1
    20 Dec '25   FCUnited.          (A) Lost  1-2  
    26 Dec '25   Bamber Bridge  (H) Lost  1-3
    01 Jan  '26   Workington        (A) Draw 1-1

    We can’t afford to lose this one. Three points are desperately needed


    Just two wins in our last ten matches is relegation form. Only Workington have scored fewer points.

    Lancaster are looking for promotion and sent two officials to watch our match against Morpeth. It’s sure to be a keenly contested game because we need the points to pull away from the other end of the table.

    A win would move us towards mid table and a defeat would leave us among the relegation possibles.


    These are Saturday’s fixtures involving teams below us:

    Rushall v Stocksbridge       3 points available for one of these
    Prescot v Whitby                   Fair chance of a Prescot win
    Bamber Bridge v Hyde          Difficult game for Hyde
    Morpeth v Gainsborough      Possibly a home point for Morpeth
    Leek v Cleethorpes               Possibly a home point for Leek     
    Workington                           no match

    On Tuesday 20th Jan  
    Leek v Hyde                           3 points available for one of these


         Current positions:
                                           Played   Points
         14th  Ilkeston               25         30
         15th   Rushall                23         27
         16th.  Prescot                23         25
         17th.  Hyde                    22         25
         18th.  Morpeth               24         25
         -----------------------------------------------
         19th.  Leek                     23         25
         20th.  Stocksbridge        24         22
         21st   Workington           25         18

    Big chance for Yawson on the break after the first 5 minutes saw. all the play in City’s half. Yawson should have scored​ but Roberts managed to save his weak effort.  Now a free kick to City just outside area.  Parker has to concede a corner 
    0-0.    9mins

    Lancaster suddenly looking a good side. Craig header goes wide. Chance for Evangelinos. He looked offside but lino kept flag down. He only had Roberts to beat but Ilkeston keeper did really well to block his shot 
    0-0.    14 mins

    Viscious foul by Alison on Parker. Should be red but it’s only a yellow.  He’s very lucky.    
    Then Harvey Kirby-Moore   misses a sitter.       2-0.   58 mins

    Great play by Kirby-Moore but he can’t quite find Fox. More good defending by Ilkeston. Lancaster are going for broke.   Kirby-Moore replaced by While.    Sam Parker gets MOTM.   It’s a pen for Lancaster. 
    Roberts saves it.   It’s all going our way today.     still  3-0.    83 mins
