GOOD KEEP BALL BY ILKESTON BUT EASTWOOD MAKE THE FIRST CHANCE AND MITCHELL HAS TO SAVE.
Offline
Green almost through. It's a fast start with both teams attacking. Eastwood are looking sharp and shooting on site. Eastwood player's lob is too high. Bailey fires wide for Ilkeston. Chance for Green but keeper saves.
No score 10 minutes

Great run by Green but his cross is cut out. Good work by Bailey then he's brought down. Eastwood keeper races out to clear. Ilkeston are having more possession but Eastwood have had more attempts on goal. Dixon tries a shot from distance but keeper saves easily. 0-0 20 minutes
Offline
Malachi fouled on edge of area. Green to take the free kick. Deflected for a corner which is eventually cleared. Great tackle by eastwood defender stops Green. Surprisingly no goals yet. 25 minutes
Offline
Good work by Dixon and he almost breaks through. Impressed with Rickford. Oh dear Malachi is injured.
Offline
He's back on his feet. Dixon is showing some great touches. Has to be said Eastwood are defending well against almost constant Ilkeston pressure. Eastwood free kick on left edge of area comes to nothing. Jemson on for Fairclough 40 minutes
Offline
Good effort by Hopkinson but keeper saves. It's half time. No score.

Good number of fans have come from Ilkeston. My estimate of the gate is 200-300. Second half is underway.

Long shot by Malachi whistles wide. Malachi crosses and Hopkinson heads in 1-0 49 minutes

Terrific run by Dixon bur keeper rushes out to intercept. Great cross by Green but keeper does really well under pressure. Chance falls for Morris but keeper blocks. Second half planned changes now happening . 1-0 56 minutes.

Eastwood very close to scoring. Big save by Mitchell. Ilkeston break and score - Reeves the scorer. 3-0. 63 minutes

Great interception by Rickford. Good play by Morris but no one on the end of his cross. Reeves look sure to score but great defending robbed him. Super run by Walker and Reeves finishes off the move. 4-0 73 minutes
Offline
Bennett crosses and it's almost another goal. Reeves is doing really well. Ilkeston are producing some good moves now. GOAL Ben Morris 81 minutes 5-0.

Good defending by Ryan Wheatley. And again as Eastwood keep trying. Walker hits crossbar but he's offside anyway. Reeves and Malachi are combining well. Bennett gets a yellow. Eastwood header is just too high. Another Eastwood effort goes over the bar. That's full time. 5-0
After a goalless first half Ilkeston finally overpowered the home side.
