Daryll Thomas was in the Dunkirk team but is now replaced by George Bosworth. Kick off is in five minutes

Ilkeston are in red and Dunkirk are wearing royal blue. The teams are out. Ilkeston are attacking the car park end. We're off ....

Dunkirk thought they had scored but Ilkeston are rescued by linesman's offside flag. 0-0 5 minutes

First corner to Dunkirk who have started well. Lovely flicked header by Malachi sends Reeves away. Then a chance for Ilkeston but Dunkirk scramble it away. Reeves races through but keeper forces him wide and he has to square. Ball comes to Dixon and he fires wide. 0-0 12 minutes
Offline
Jones crosses to Nangle in the area but Nangle miscues. Chances coming at both ends. Corner won by Jones and its headed in by Bosworth. 0-1 17 minutes
Offline
Reeves breaks free again but his shot is deflected for a corner. Nangle gets a shot in and Mitchell saves. Dunkirk look a lot better than their league position suggests. 0-1 25 minutes
Offline
Big appeal for a penalty as Nangle goes down just inside box . Ref waves play on. Great run and shot by Reece Fyfe but it's just too high. Vital Save by Mitchell when Jones looked certain to score. Dunkirk then unlucky again . Dunkirk could have had two or three. 0-1 34 minutes.

Goal ILKESTON ELLIOTT REEVES makes it 1-1 37 minutes

Tom Marshall shoots just over The equaliser seems to have revived Ilkeston. Unreal moment as Mitchell comes to the touchline to collect a drink and Dunkirk burst through. Mitchell has to sprint back to clear just in time.
Offline
Reeves just wide as he stretches for a header. Anderson tries to catch Mitchell out but it's miles too high.
That's half time and Ilkeston lucky to be level in my opinion. 1-1
half time : Sporting Khalsa 0 Walsall Wood 1
Worcester City 0 Westfields 5 and Worcester keeper Jeseph has been sent off.

I can't imagine what Martin McIntosh will be saying to Liam Mitchell at half time. The incident was right out of a comic.
The Ilkeston team are back out early. They must had been on the receiving end of some harsh words.
The second half is underway ....

Reeves in on goal but keeper saves well Still 1-1

Today's gate 548
Ilkeston are now pressing but Dunkirk are always dangerous on the break. Malachi almost scores from Reeves's cross but offside flag is up anyway. Two big chances for Ilkeston from two successive corners. 1-1 55 minutes
Offline
Malachi replaced by Tim Hopkinson on 57 minutes. Jones replaced by Harrison for Dunkirk. Fyfe can't quite wriggle through the left but he wins a corner. Then Dunkirk win a corner. Dixon almost puts Reeves through but keeper clears. 1-1 62 minutes
Offline
At the other end Nangle looked set to shoot from close range but Offside.
Ilkeston are piling up the corners Can they make one count Yes they can GOAL Baker heads against the bar then slams home as it comes back to him. 2-1 67 minutes
No score changes in the other two games

Hopkinson shot cleared off the line. Reeves though but keeper does well. This is a game of many chances. Great play by Walker but his cross is blocked. Nangle is always dangerous when he geta the ball. 2-1 80 minutes

My apologies to Liam Mitchell for making light of his predicament during yesterday's match. Apparently he was in some discomfort, choking and having difficulty breathing. That is why he requested water and went to the touchline to collect it.
