WhiteBallProject » Tue 16th April : Bamber Bridge v Ilkeston Town : KO 7 45pm

Matchman · 14/4/2024 6:09 PM

.

On Tuesday night we travel to Bamber Bridge for the second time. The last time we went there the match was postponed after we had arrived there. Here’s hoping that this time the match will go ahead.

We are on a six game unbeaten run and Bamber have lost their last six so another win on the road looks promising but nothing can be taken for granted in this league.

Bamber’s recent poor form has seen them slip to 16th in the league table with 41 points but they are well clear of the drop zone.

Bamber Bridge’s home record is: P17, W6, D5, L6, F31, A37, Points 23
Ilkeston’s away record is: P18, W9, D1, L8, F25, A30, Points 28

On Tuesday we have a chance to move up a place to 10th if we can win at Bamber Bridge.
We are currently 2 points behind Gainsborough and they are away at Matlock on the same night. Our goal difference is + 5, Gainsborough's is - 2.

We go into tonight’s match as slight favourites to win if the betting odds are anything to go by and it could be special occasion for one of our players.
I'm really hoping that Jamie Walker is picked to play his 150th game for Ilkeston tonight.
He has scored 61 goals in his 149 appearances so far.
Jamie is our leading scorer this season and his tally includes some spectacular strikes like the one at Gainsborough Trinity.
He has twice scored hat-tricks this season against Lancaster and Basford.
A highly talented and versatile player equally at home playing a defensive or an attacking role.

Tonight's match gives us an opportunity to extend our unbeaten run to seven matches and record a fourth consecutive away win. Our last three away matches have ended in 2-1 wins at Guiseley, Matlock and Ashton.
James Perch may make a surprise return tonight if an unconfirmed rumour I've heard is correct.

If you're not able to travel to Bamber Bridge tonight - You are welcome follow the regular match updates here on Whiteball.

Apologies for some of the Bamber players names being incorrect. Team sheet unreadable.

Matchman · 16/4/2024 5:48 PM

We're off......

Matchman · 16/4/2024 5:54 PM

It's a soft pitch and a scrappy start. Ilkeston are kicking up the slight slope.Meither keeper in action in the first 6 minutes. 0-0

Matchman · 16/4/2024 6:02 PM

I've just been given a team sheet. Chance for TC in front of goal but the ball sticks in the mud. Wafula can't get his shot in but he wins a corner. It's headed clear. Yates has to come out of goal to claim a forward ball. 0-0. 14 mins

Matchman · 16/4/2024 6:11 PM

Another good claim by Yates. Shot by Baxter floors his own player and Mularkey is needng treatment. Bamber are pushing forward but no danger yet. Big chance for. Scarborough but he puts it wide. 0-0. 23 mins

Matchman · 16/4/2024 6:17 PM

Bamber on top just now. Scarborough fires wide from distance. Then Baxter does the same. Sinclair finds Malarky but Yates saves his effort. It's Bamber dominating. 0-0 28 mins

Ilkeston free kick in attacking position wide right. Walker's header from the free kick is saved under the crossbar. Another Ilkeston free kick in similar position. Headed out for a corner but nothing from that either.
0-0 58 mins

Atherton Collieries need a goal in the next thirty minutes or they are relegated!

Matchman · 16/4/2024 7:07 PM

It's so dark anything can happen. Bamber are back in the ascendency and its freezing. Corner to Bamber. Great header and equally good save by Yates. another Bamber corner. Two Bamber chances but both efforts unsuccessful. 0-0. 62 mins

Matchman · 16/4/2024 7:10 PM

Yates forced into another save. Wafula on the break but Bamber clear. Tom replaced by Alex and Dec on for Dixon
