Silly goal to give away by Westfields. Total embarrassment for Westfield's keeper.

Westfields now battling back. Chance for Westfields but Ilkeston scramble the ball away. Hopkinson gets a shot in at the other end but keeper gathers. Walker nearly intercepts a back pass to Harvard who is furious. Visitors are now looking a decent side. 1-0 13 minutes

Yellow for Thomas for kick at Tom Marshall. Westfields are playing well but not creating anything up front so far. Good defending by Bennett. Brilliant Ilkeston Goal Brilliant play by Walker down the left and Reeves is on the end of his cross. 2-0 39 minutes

Marshall free kick nearly makes it three - just too high. Westfields having a fair amount of possession but Ilkeston are much more dangerous. Marshall crosses, Reeves heads goalwards, keeper saves. Great attacking play by Ilkeston. Right on half time free kick chance for Westfields on edge of area. Mitchell saves well.
Half time : Ilkeston 2 Westfields 0
Ilkeston deservedly two goals up

Teams are now back out. Second half is underway ....

Reeves breaks into area but angle is too tight and keeper saves. Bennett does well to stop Antwi as the Westfields player cuts in towards goal. Antwi then inches from getting on the end of a cross. Baker and Molyneux collide near goalpost. Molyneux looks to be out cold. He's now recovered but he's substituted by Keanu Cooper. 2-0 57 minutes

Good punch clear by Mitchell under pressure. Today's Gate is 614. Bright start by the visitors. Something happened off the ball in the Ilkeston area. Westfields player was rolling around. Baker and Hurrell both spoken to but no cards shown. Great claim by Mitchell from corner.

Head injury to Whithurst and he's replaced by Piliero. It's an even game now with Westfields looking more capable. Antwi is looking a threat.

Antwi tries a long shot and it's not far wide. Hopkinson replaced by Alex Marshall on 74 minutes. still 2-0

Westfield's Reeve tests Mitchell but keeper is equal to it. Antwi stepovers are almost making me drop my laptop. Big chance for Dixon but he doesn't take it. Chances at both ends now 82 minutes 2-0

Big effort by Westfields in the closing stages. Walker replaced by Ryan Wheatley. on 88 minutes

Terrific header by Sam Plane but it's just wide. It must be nearly time. Another Westfields corner but it comes to nothing. There goes the whistle for time.
Result : ILKESTON 2 WESTFIELDS 0
