We are approaching kickoff time. Spennymoor look a big and experienced side. I have an excellent view of the pitch. Spenymoor are wearing black and white stripes and Ilkeston are wearing red and blue stripes. The teams are now out. ilkeston are starting down the slope. We're off.

Good work by Leverock as Ilkeston are force to defend. Good cross by Horne forces Ilkeston corner. Good tackle Leverock then good save by Hannis. Gordon puts Dwyer through on the right but his cross is intercepted. Ilkeston's attacks are infrequent but dangerous. 20 minutes 0-0.

Good play by Gamblen nearly sets Morris free. Dwyer is proving a thorn in Spenny defence.Much more from Ilkeston going forward than at Buxton. Some good inter passing but not quite creating opportunities. Second goal for Spennymoor 77minutes, scorer Dowson again. Ilkeston didn't deserve that but its 0-2.
