Not the best ground for watching a game. I'm behind one goal at ground level so not a good view. The small official car park is full and so is the overflow car park. The actual pitch looks fine. No sign of a team sheet yet. It's five minutes to kick off.

Apparently no team sheets. Ilkeston to kick off and attacking the far goal. We're off.........

Free kick to Wolves but it evades everyone. Early flare up with Dixon involved. Wolves with another free kick into Ilkeston's box but it's cleared. Lavell White brought down but free kick goes against him. Good move by Wolves and the shot is narrowly wide. 0-0 8 minutes

All the free kicks seem to be going Wolves way. It's a slow start by Ilkeston. Wolves slightly on top early on.

Header by Wolves No 6 goes a couple of yards wide. No goal attempts by Ilkeston in first 15 minutes. 0-0 !5 minutes

Dixon felled by a late tackle. Yellow for No 2. The game has livened up . Brilliant play by Malachi and his cross is turned in. Not sure who scored but it's 1-0 to Ilkeston. on 20 minutes
Offline
Scorer apparently Tim Hopkinson. Ilkeston fans are now singing. Some fierce tackles are going in. Nearly a second goal Header hits a Wolves defender. Corner to Ilkeston. Wolves clear. 1-0 30 minutes

Great interception by Jemson. Then Jemmo booked following a late challenge. It's a highly charged fast moving game.

Good effort by Jamie Walker but it's wide. Wolves No 9 looks really dangerous but so far Ilkeston are defending very well. 1-0 40 minutes

Equaliser Wolves Sporting. Mix up at the back by Ilkeston presents No 8 with a chance that he takes. 1-1 43 minutes

As in the first half there's no time to dwell on the ball. Wolves shot goes across the goal.
GOAL Lavell White makes it 3-1 with lovely finish into the roof of the net 3-1 49 minutes
Offline
GOAL Wolves Mitchell half saved the shot but it carried over the line. There's now a bust up near the dugouts. 3-2 55 minutes
Offline
the game has been stopped because of fighting, Can't see who is involved. Maybe its fans but the match has been halted while it's sorted. Three minute delay.

Elloiott Hodgett Young seemed to be involved in the disturbance somehow.. The Wolves players have been over physical and that hasn't helped.

GOAL Hopkinson completes another hat-trick Ilkeston lead 4-2 63 minutes

ilkeston's (Hopkinson"s) finishing has been clinical. Terrific run by Dixon takes him into the area but he's robbed at the last second. The ref is doing well to keep order 4-2 70 minutes
Offline
This is such a volatile game Anything could happen if Wolves score another. 4-2 80 minutes

Five minutes left plus plenty of stoppage time

Hopkinson replaced by Ben Morris on 87 minutes. Nasty off the ball foul by Wolves No 5 on Jamie Walker which the ref didn't see or chose not to see..Now Morris is fouled near the corner flag. The ref has blown for time. Bit early in my opinion but a very hard fought win for Ilkeston by 4-2.
