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.

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

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)
