Sat 15th Aug 2026
Northern Premier League
Whitby Town 2 Ilkeston Town 0
Ilkeston’s bright start to the season came to end at Whitby. Both sides had chances but it was the seasiders who came out on top.
Whitby’s Stuart Rose had the ball in the Ilkeston net after only 3 minutes but the “goal” was disallowed for an elbowing offence. There were three chances in quick succession for Ilkeston on 20 minutes. First keeper Jack Norton made a great save then two shots were blocked. Muhamet Gashi had a chance for Whitby after good work by Joey Phuthi. Ilkeston’s best chance fell to Jevin Seaton who got past Whitby keeper but the angle was tight and he put the ball wide of the open goal. 
The second half started badly for Ilkeston when debutant keeper Theo Avery mis-judged a speculative effort by Phuthi allowing the ball to drop over line. It was nearly 2-0 when Gashi headed over the bar. Jevin Seaton then had chance for Ilkeston when one on one with Norton but saw the keeper block his shot. Seaton had another chance but headed wide from a deep free kick. Whitby doubled their lead when Pharrell Johnson was penalised for a trip in the area and Rose duly converted. Ilkeston tried to recover the situation and Ash Hunter saw a good effort deflected narrowly wide by Leon Gibson-Booth. Ilkeston pushed hard to get a goal back but their efforts were unrewarded. A Harry Wakefield effortl was disallowed for offside and a late corner with everyone up for it was spilled by Norton but he recovered to nullify the chance. The 12 year wait for a win at Whitby goes on.

​As Tris said in his post match interview - Missed chances then conceding a soft goal cost us the game. 
Jevin Seaton missed the best chance when he got past the Whitby keeper but placed the ball wide. 
But the killer blow for me was the error by Theo Avery letting what looked like an 'easy to save' shot slip through his fingers. 
Tris just described it as a defensive error presumably so as not to embarrass him. And it’s very true that all players make mistakes and get away with it but goalkeepers don’t.
There was no doubting the effort by the players especially when 2-0 down and if we had scored one we could easily have got a point. But it wasn’t to be

I thought Jordan Stevens was our best player in the first half but he didn’t come out for the second half.  Why was that? I assume Sam Wilson and Cashmere Rowe were injured? And personally I would like to see Adiefeh start. 

We’re only three matches in and we’ve got six points so no cause for consternation. We’re still a new team and we should get better with time.
