Morris goes down in area - nothing given. Bennett throw-ins are as good as a corner. Best chance so far for Brocton but Hannis anticipates and grabs the loose ball. Another corner to Ilkeston. Headed away.

Brocton are now doing better and look dangerous with free kicks into the box. Great chance for Garbett but he couldn't connect from 2 yards out. Should have scored. 0-0 35 minutes

Ref speaks to lino. Not sure what happened. Yellow card shown to Brocton player. (Liggins) Great effort by Walker but Keeper plucks it out of the air. Game has become quite physical. Malachi replaced by Conor Green.

DID YOU KNOW? Brocton's gate against Ilkeston Towns was 81, the lowest crowd to watch the Robins all season. It was 21 up on Brocton's average gate this season and 21 below their highest gate. Don't you just love stats with a nice symmetry?

And I would like to say a good 60 odd from Ilkeston

Hi Alex Same thing could be said of Pershore and many more like Bolehall Swifts etc It must be hard work being involved with a team who nobody watches. I think anybody who comes to Ilkeston like players, coaches and management are always going to be impressed by the fanbase. We might go mental at times but we are always there!
