Good defending by Leverock. Yet another corner. It's all Hednesford but they can't create anything. Good header from Head to avert danger.It's corner after corner for Pitmen. Good punch away by Hannis

Ilkeston were unlucky to have an equaliser disallowed in the second half. Atkinson got a shot in and Tyrell appeared to be onside. The ball came to him off the keeper and he put it into the net. The linesman raised his flag and Hednesford were given a slice of luck.
