Webb is on for Troke.    TIME IS RUNNING OUT.  ANOTHER GOAL FOR KHALSA        2-4        90 MINUTES

full time    Khalsa  4  Ilkeston  2

Rare loss for Ilkeston Town but other results go in our favour and we are still top of the table. All top three lost today. Surprises toady were at Shepshed who brat Halesowen 2-1 and at Stamford if Soham can hold on for a point!

Sat 11th December 2021   Northern Premier League
Sporting Khalsa  4  Ilkeston Town  2
Ilkeston’s nine game winning run was brought to an end by a storming Khalsa fightback.  The Robins led by 2-1 at half time but Khalsa finished worthy winners with three second half goals. 
Ilkeston were denied what looked like a certain penalty in the opening minutes when Jared Bird was tripped in the area. Bird then had a chance on the edge of the area but his effort cleared the bar. Khalsa’s tricky winger Luke Yates was causing problems and created a good chance for Josh McKenzie. Mckenzie was soon involved again when he crossed to Liam Armstrong but Ross Durrant saved well. Khalsa keeper Sam Arnold then did well to rob Remaye Campbell on the six yard line but on 25 minutes a chance fell to Zak Goodson and he took it. Khalsa reacted forcefully but Ilkeston went two up when Billy Bennett’s cross was turned into his own goal by Michael Perks. Just before half time Khalsa got one back when Perks made up for his own goal with a header from a corner.
The second half was more open with both sides creating chances, Ilkeston started brightly and Khalsa were put under real pressure but there was no end product. The game then swung Khalsa’s way and Mckenzie made a great chance for James McGrady who fired over when he should have scored. On 68 minutes Khalsa were awarded a penalty and McGrady equalised from the spot. Both teams pushed for a winner and it went Khalsa’s way with a superb header by Sean Williams on 82 minutes. Ilkeston battled for an equaliser and Charlie Wakefield made a great chance for Goodson but he put it wide. Ilkeston were made to pay for the miss when Yates made sure of the points for Khalsa in added time.

My opinion :

Not one of our better performances but credit to Khalsa for a remarkable second half display. It was one of those matches that could have gone either way. We could have been given a penalty early on but it didn't seem to matter when we led by 2-0. It could be said that you shouldn't lose from that position but Khalsa got one back on the stroke of half time to bring them back into the game. Ilkeston's start to the second half was their best spell of the match. Several chances were created as Khalsa were pinned back but they survived the onslaught. Unfortunately it didn't last long and Khalsa soon turned the tide and started to look dangerous themselves. I was too far away to comment the validity of Khalsa's penalty but Bennett was booked for his complaints. After the penalty equaliser both teams tried to find a winner and there were chances at both ends but it was Khalsa who made the late break through. We had a great opportunity to equalise when Wakefield crossed to Goodson who should have scored but somehow put the ball wide. 3-3 would have been a scoreline that both sides would probably have settled for but Khalsa went on to score again at the death to make sure of the points.
We knew the run had to end sometime and this defeat will be forgotten if we are able to turn over Stamford next weekend.

FROM CARLTON'S WEBSITE

DECEMBER 11, 2021
GOOD AWAY POINT FOR THE MILLERS 

Carlton secured a clean sheet and a point away to Bedworth United, a team with an excellent home record and although the managers would obviously have liked all 3, it was a decent result coming on the back of the 2-1 defeat to Sporting Khalsa.

To put Carlton’s defeat in midweek into perspective, Sporting Khalsa beat league leaders Ilkeston Town 4-2 showing they are a decent team indeed.

Chasetown beat Belper Town 2-0 to strengthen their promotion credentials while Halesowen went down 2-1 to Shepshed Dynamo who are Carlton’s opponents next Saturday.

Soham Town Rangers continue to improve and held high flying Stamford to a 2-2 draw, while Coleshill had a fine 4-3 win at Cambridge City.

Carlton are 7th, just a point outside the playoff zone , but have played a game more than the teams directly above them.
