Curzon are currently the best team in our league after winning 10 of their last 12 matches.
Overall record : P17. W11. D1. L5 . F31. A18. Pts.34
Home record : P. 8 W. 6 D1. L1. F.14 A 6. Pts.19
Their only home defeat was to Guiseley back in August.
They’ve picked up maximum points from their last 5 home matches.
This could be tough watch.
After originally saying there would be no buses going to this night match there are now rumours that there could be a change of mind. I’ll try to find out. If there is a bus (either team bus or Supporters Group bus) I’ll post the details on here)

******************** MATCH DAY *********************
The last time we played at Curzon Ashton was at the end of the 2014-15 season in the playoff final which Curzon won by 1-0. Curzon went on to play 11 seasons in the National League North before being relegated back to the Northern Premier League at the end of last season.
Ilkeston’s fortunes went the other way. Two season’s after that playoff final Ilkeston went into liquidation and were relegated to Step 6 but they fought their way back through the leagues and by 2022-23 they were back at Step 3. We were placed in the Southern League for one season before being moved back to the Northern Premier.
Today, after a gap of eleven years and six months, we meet again at the ground where we lost the playoff final. Curzon will be favourites to win but there’s always a chance we could spring a surprise with Ryan Hindley’s team improving week by week.
There are 3 big matches this week
Tonight: Curzon Ashton away
Friday: ko 8pm - FA Youth Cup Ilkeston v Tranmere Rovers (big crowd expected)
Saturday: ko 3pm - Ilkeston v FC United (big crowd expected)

Great ball by Brandy gives Reason an opportunity but he’s crowded out before he can get a shot away. Otherwise no real chances. 0-0. 7 mins

Curzon’s best chance but Johnson clears the danger. Injury to glover causes a hold up. He’s okay and back on. 0-0. 22mins

Good interception by Glover. Both sides giving the ball away too much. Another Curzon corner.. Alexander misses it but recovers. Alexander has gone down injured from that incident. he’s okay now. 0-0. 30 mins
