Let's hope the return of Tom Cursons persuades a few more supporters to turn up for our 2nd pre-season friendly.

Good save by Wharton from McKenna. Harrogate are not allowing Ilkeston any time on the ball. Ilkeston free kick causes problems but a Harrogate defender boots the ball away from the goal line and danger.
Drinks break on 16 mins. 0-0

Youmbi breaks free but he's offside. Ilkeston are finishing the half strongly. Youmbi's cross is blocked for a corner. thorn hill fires over after good play by Essien. Good Ilkeston move but Fox's cross isn't good enough.
Good parry by Wharton and Ilkeston eventually clear. 0-0. 43 mins
