Re: Thu 29 Oct: Milton Keynes Irish v Ilkeston :FA Youth Cup score updates
No team sheets tonight so updates will be lacking detail.
However I’ll post regular score updates so you know the score.
15 minutes to kickoff.
Maybe 200+ in the ground so far
The teams are out. MK Irish in green (of course).Ilkeston in red

Irish shot hits a defender and flies over the bar. Nearly Ilkeston second goal but its cleared off the line,
Half Time : MK Irish 0 Ilkeston 1
Cracking game so far Ilkeston deservedly ahead but Irish are dangerous down both wings.

Re: Thu 29 Oct: Milton Keynes Irish v Ilkeston :FA Youth Cup score updates
Ilkeston miss the pen . Straight at the keeper. 2-4. 90 mins
I think the intention was to send the keeper the wsrong way and put the ball down the midlle.
But the keeper didn't move and the soft penalty kick came straight to him.
Ilkeston No 8 hobbles off - He's had a brilliant game.

Te ref’s watch must have Stopped
Goal. 5th goal for Ilkeston The whistle finally goes MK Irish 2 Ilkeston 5
I think it was the penalty taker who has made up for his miss with an absolute superb finish to wrap things up.
