Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

This coming Saturday is our penultimate home game and a chance to forget the defeat at Rushall.  Like Ilkeston, Bamber Bridge have not ended the season well. They have had only one win in their last eleven matches. (1 win, 4 draws, 6 defeats). The win was against Gainsborough. 
Between 6th Dec and 3rd Feb they won 6 consecutive away matches,
Their away record is P18.  W7.  D4.  L7.  F22.  A29.  Pts25

It’s our final home match day before FC United take over the NMG on 25th April.

A point today will ensure we don’t get relegated.

As things stand Ilkeston are safe from relegation and Morpeth, Cables and Stocksbridge stay in the bottom three!

Re: Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

0-0 Still blank in terms of goals but both battling to to get a breakthrough!

Re: Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

0-0 40' Both teams come close to breaking the deadlock. Parker denies Hodkin and Dixon close with a header.

Re: Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

Top three all winning but Stockton seemed to be bottling it losing two nil at home to lowly Rushall.

Re: Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

Apologies to Stockton! They have pulled two back to equalise!

Re: Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

Ilkeston are still safe if scores stay the same. Even if they loseto Bamber Bridge, Morpeth will need some hefty victories to catch them or come back from 0-2 down at Hednesford today to give them a chance of catching the Robins!

 

11/4/2026 3:14 PM  #25


Re: Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

0-0 49' Lively start to the second half Bamber down to Okome sent off for Fouling Dixon in a last man scenario!

Re: Sat 11 April 26 : Ilkeston v Bamber Bridge : NMG 3pm

GOAL 1-0 53' Odinaiya put Ilkeston in front! Anderson made the goal with a run from his own half beating three defenders before providing Odinaiya with a tap in!
