Chelmsley to kick off.  We're off.

Almost a chance for Montel. Inswinging Tom Marshall corner hits the bar but Chelmsley clear. Gibson creates chance for Smith but keeper saves well. Ilkeston now on top.  12 minutes    0-0.

Some of the Chelmsley defenders are not on diets but they're holding out. Great forward ball by Wheatley almost sets Gibson free.  Good effort by Smith but McGuire is stopping everything. Penalty to Ilkeston on the half hour.    Walker takes and scores    1-0.  
( in my opinion the penalty was a touch harsh on the defender Ross Casey who was not happy with the decision))
