It's kick off time. It's a rainy night and it looks like a thin crowd. We're off

Hodgett-Young is in for Jemson. Lench is back and Hopkinson wears the number nine shirt. White and Gibson are not playing. Top scorer Alex Marshall is one of the subs.
Early Chance for Ilkeston but it's way too high. Some slick passing by Ilkeston has Dronfield back pedalling. Ilkeston free kick on edge of the D. Dead shot JamieWalker to take . The net ripples . it's 1-0. 8 minutes

It's all Ilkeston in the early stages, No threat so far from Dronfield. Almost an attack from Dronfield but it fizzles out as Hodgett-Young takes charge. 15 minutes 1-0.

Hodgett-Young's close range header is well saved by Naylor. Another free kick to Ilkeston on edge of area and centre of goal. Walker takes and it slams against the upright. So close. 25 minutes 1-0.

Deakin is still untested. Half hour gone still 1-0.

Ilkeston are having most of the possession without really looking like scoring. Dronfield have everyone back defending. Keeper Naylor looks competent. It's nearly half time.

Half time 1-0.

Sweeping move by Ilkeston nearly rewarded as Hopkinson just fails to connect. Naylor runs 30 yards out to clear. Ilkeston now looking more likely. 55mins Hill replaced by Bishop for Dronfield.

Great work by Walker but his cross is headed narrowly wide by Callum Smith. Smith is then denied by a brilliant save by Naylor.

Savage replaced by Fereday on 77 minutes. Ilkeston now in cruise control and looking for more goals. Fairclough's cross flies across the goal and evades everyone. 85 minutes 3-0
