Ilkeston starting up the slope. First effort by Ilkeston brings good save by Cadbury keeper. Good interception and break by Tom Marshall. Cadbury on the back foot in the early stages. 0-0 5 minutes

Header from Cadbury's Rose goes just over. Corner to Ilkeston. Another corner. Keeper gathers. Malachi finds net but he's well offside. Still no score 15 minutes
Offline

Conor Green sends over a great cross but no one there to cash in. Ilkeston are well on top so far in terms of possession. Difficult header by Malachi too high.

Cadbury are coming into the game but haven't tested Hannis yet. Green's cross nearly turned into his own goal by Cadbury defender. Lench shot deflected for corner. Another corner. Long shot / cross by Lench drifts wide.
0-0 29 minutes.

Jamie Hannis makes decent save, the first he's had to make. Hannis comes out to clear. Cadbury No 7 shoots over. Good spell by Cadbury.

Very few opportunities at the moment. Ilkeston's early dominance appears to have melted away. Good run by Fairclough but his cross is blocked for corner. Corner comes over and Cadbury defender does really well to head off line. Half time Cadbury 0 Ilkeston 0

Good Start by Cadbury and Malachi has to clear danger. Fairclough booked for over zealous challenge. Cadbury playing much better. 0-0 50 minutes

Equaliser by Butcher Cracking power shot to be fair. Hannis gat a hand to it but couldn't keep it out. 1-1 77 minutes

Chance for Hopkinson but his blast is high. Only five minutes left to get a winner

Wonder save by Jamie Hannis then Rose blasts over. We could have lost it then. Now Hannis is injured after charging out. Great interception by Shaw as Cadbury look for a winner.

Full Time : Cadbury 1 Ilkeston 1 Not Ilkeston's best performance . A draw is a fair result.

Look out for my report of the match in Ilkeston Life which contains the following line :
" Fairclough was guilty of a crunchie tackle which caused a Cadbury player to flake and forced the referee to wispa in his ear and show him a yellow card."
(Nine Cadbury products get a mention)
