Matchman · 01/4/2018 2:18 PM

There will be coverage of the Easter Monday afternoon match against Paget Rangers here as usual for those supporters unable to travel. Apparently Paget have a 3G pitch so there should no danger of the game not going ahead.
Paget have won their last three matches and had their biggest win on Saturday, 7-2 at Pershore.
They are 8th in the league table with 55 points. Their top scorers are Daniel Carter with 26 goals followed by Ross Dempster with 15.

On a 3G pitch this will be a tough test.

Only three games are still on at the minute

Heath Hayes v Stafford
Paget v Ilkeston
Walsall Wood v Bolehall

I dread to think how many Walsall Wood will score today

I'm going for 1-0 Bolehill I wish!

8-0 to Walsall

Matchman · 02/4/2018 10:33 AM

Walsall Wood has now been called off

Matchman · 02/4/2018 10:54 AM

Then there was one. We are now the only match on

WhiteBallProject · 02/4/2018 11:42 AM

Gutted! I had a feeling about Bolehall today!

Any team news john

Only just arrived at ground . No team sheet. We're off

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:01 PM

Goal Malachi block buster 1-0 Ilkeston first minute

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:06 PM

Great start. Malachi's shot was unstoppable into top corner. Malachi nearly scores again as Ilkeston push forward. Nothing from Paget yet. Spoke too soon they almost catch Hannis out of position but the shot drifts wide 1-0 7 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:16 PM

Good effort by Paget No 9. Paget are more in the game now. Marshall has to head clear. Paget No 9 gets another shot in but it's too high. There's a bit of a slope and Ilkeston are going up hill first half. 1-0 15 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:23 PM

As you'd expect on a 3G it's a fast moving game. Paget having plenty of possession but Ilkeston are defending well and breaking well. Another brilliant finish by Malachi but linesman flag is up and its disallowed

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:30 PM

Great play by Walker but his cross / shot is headed off the line. Yellow for Williams. Ilkeston are far more dangerous than Paget and back in control. Malachi is class.

WhiteBallProject · 02/4/2018 1:31 PM

Ilkeston Town line up :- Hannis, Fairclough, Walker, Shaw, Jemson, Marshall T, Morris, Wheatley, Marshall A, Lavelle-Moore, Bennett Subs Deakin, Bench, Hopkinson , Edwards and Green C

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:36 PM

Ilkeston are on top but its only 1-0. Paget haven't had a shot for a while. GOAL Bennett crosses and Ben Fairclough heads in. 2-0 36 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:41 PM

Free kick to Paget right on edge of area. This is dangerous. Fortunately it's fired wide. Good little spell for Paget. 2-0 40 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 1:47 PM

Fairclough scores again after defender mistake 3-0 45 minutes

Half time Paget 0 Ilkeston 3 Good half by Ilkeston.

WhiteBallProject · 02/4/2018 1:52 PM

Wow! Sounds like a cracking first half! Didn't they score seven last weekend?

WhiteBallProject · 02/4/2018 1:58 PM

Ben Fairclough has now trebled his seasons goal tally! His last goal was in November against oddly Paget Rangers

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:04 PM

Second half is underway

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:10 PM

Paget keeper just beats Alex to a through ball and hammers it clear. Fairclough brought down in full flight. Yellow card for Paget player. Walker shot deflected wide. Looked like hands by Paget defender on line but he gets away with it. 3-0 52 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:15 PM

Good save by Hannis then ball cannons off Ilkeston defender on goal line. Paget unlucky. Malachi waltzes past defenders but Ilkeston can't capitalise this time GOAL Malachi Its 4-0.

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:17 PM

Two substitutions by Paget on 58 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:29 PM

Another Paget booking. Terrific Paget free kick shot which Shaw gets a head on and it nearly knocks him over. Bad foul by Paget no 7. Then a yellow for Bennett. Now a yellow for Walker after an unnecessary petty foul. Walker taken off and replaced by Conor Green. 4-0 70 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:36 PM

Paget are being forced to shoot from long range and Hannis is dealing with everything. Bennett replaced by Edwards on 78 minutes. Then Malachi replaced by Tim Hopkinson.

It's pretty much all Ilkeston now. Ilkeston are passing the ball around and managing the final 5 minutes.

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:48 PM

Free kick to Paget headed clear . Paget get one back good shot by Brown 1-4 89 minutes

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:53 PM

Late rally by Paget. Ilkeston waste a breakaway opportunity by being caught offside. Must be time now

Matchman · 02/4/2018 2:53 PM

Thats it. Full time : Paget 1 Ilkeston 4

alex(club shop) · 02/4/2018 2:57 PM

Thanks for the updates john.

Has anybody got a card count for our players?

I know we have been picking up a odd booking and some players must be close to a 1 match ban.
