Northern Premier League
FC United of Manchester 1  Ilkeston Town 1
A late leveller by Tom Cursons extended Ilkeston’s unbeaten start to the season. FC United’s speedy forwards had created the better chances but they didn’t take them. Ilkeston stayed in the game and got their reward five minutes from time.
Ilkeston created the first opportunity when Callum Minkley headed wide from Jamie Walker’s cross. FC United quickly replied through Jay Fitzmartin’s effort which Matt Yates did really well to turn round the post. Dontai Gabidon then fired wide after cutting inside. Ilkeston hit back with a shot by Walker which keeper Ollie Byrne could only parry. FC United should have gone ahead just before half time when a great block by Yates fell kindly for Declan Evans who fired wide of the gaping goal.
Within four minutes of the restart Evans made up for his miss when he was in the right place to put FC United ahead. Ilkeston hit back with a free kick effort by Tom Marshall which Byrne pushed wide. From the corner Jonathan Wafula's header was on target but Byrne was equal to it. On 65 minutes Ilkeston’s players couldn’t believe they were not given a penalty when FC United defender Joe Ferguson appeared to handle the ball in the area. The feeling of injustice seemed to give Ilkeston a burst of energy and a period of ascendency ended with Lindon Meikle’s effort inches too high. FC United countered with a Jordan Buckley header which glanced off the top of the crossbar before Walker’s header at the other end was inches over the bar. FC United then had a golden chance to seal the game when Adam Le Fondre found Buckley who was only a yard out but he couldn’t find the net. From the clearance, Ilkeston broke down the right and Cursons was there to sweep Wafula’s cross over the line for the equaliser and a draw that felt like a win.
