Free kick to Rammy just outside area. Rammy forward just fails to get his head on it. Goddard tries to put Atkinson through but it's cut out. 5 minutes gone.

The pitch is bumpy making it difficult to control the ball. Workington are 3 up against Buxton already. No chances yet here after 15 minutes.

First chance to Rammy but they mess it up. Shaw wins Ilkeston's first corner. Decent chance for Ramsbottom but shot drifts wide on 18 minutes. Great cross by Print is just too high for Rose. 21 minutes gone and it's still scoreless.
Offline
Second corner for Ilkeston. Ball comes out to Goddard whose blast goes only just wide. Nice work by Burrows gives Atkinson a chance but it's blocked. Rammy shot goes wide on 30 minutes
Offline
Hill forced to save. Ilkeston go very close! Rose's shot is turned onto crossbar by keeper and ball is scrambled away. Rammy are now having a good spell and forcing Ilkeston back. 35 gone still no score.

Shaw wins another corner for Ilkeston but it comes to nothing. Goal for Rammy on 40 minutes after Ilkeston fail to clear.

Second half is underway

Thornberry penalised for pulling back Rammy forward. Lucky to escape booking. The ball is bobbling unbelievably as Ilkeston try to play it on the ground. Shaw gets shot in but keeper saves. 10 minutes gone in second half.

Ilkeston are struggling to create an opening. Dexter replaced by Roy Lee. Third goal for Rammy as lino keeps his flag down. Wilkins after 64 minutes . He looked offside but goal stands. 0-3 This is ridiculous Rammy score again 4-0 on 66 minutes.
Offline
Rose blatantly fouled but ref ignores. Nothing going right for Ilkeston. Shaw replaced by Morris on 76 minutes. Hill miskicks and gives Ilkeston a scare. Then Rammy nearly make it five. This is embarrassing. Yet another chance for Rammy as forwards lob beats the stranded Jahquil but bounces over the bar. Brandon Clarke replaces Rose on 81 minutes.

Thornberry commits another risky foul but again escapes booking. Five minutes left

Rammy are far more dangerous than Ilkeston who have created very little in the second half. It's finished and Ilkeston have been beaten 0-4.

This was certainly not Ilkeston's finest hour as they succumbed to the leagues bottom club. In their defence the pitch was really bumpy causing the ball to bobble as it rolled along the surface which hindered Ilkeston's passing game. It could have been a different outcome had Luis Rose's shot gone in instead of hitting the bar at 0-0, but that was one of only a few opportunities that Ilkeston managed to create. On the other hand, Ramsbottom took two chances just before half time and then seized control of the game. The second half saw Rammy make chance after chance as they oozed confidence and Ilkeston just couldn't find a way back into the game. Full marks to the relegated Ramsbottom team for their performance and best wishes for next season.
