After surviving a first half of constant Ilkeston pressure and then scoring from a rare chance a minute before half time, Eastwood must have sensed that it was going to be their day. It was a massive disappointment for Ilkeston and their supporters to lose a game in which they had so many opportunities but failed to take them. For Eastwood it was a classic away performance. After a first half battering the visitors were much better in the second half and could have scored more as Ilkeston pushed forward to try and save the game. Jamie Walker had two early chances. First keeper Jack Walker did well to divert his shot for a corner then he headed over from Ryan Wheatley’s cross. Elliott Reeves’s header was also too high before Tim Hopkinson’s shot was deflected for a corner. Walker made a fine run down the left and picked out Reeves but the keeper again saved. Matt Baker was then inches wide with a header before Walker’s effort hit the post. Just before half time the inevitable happened and Eastwood scored with a well taken goal by Patrick Webb and the whole team celebrated with him. Ilkeston came out after the interval looking for a quick equaliser and they got it when Walker scored from distance on 48 minutes. A minute later though, Eastwood were back in front with a superb goal by Kieran Knight who found the top corner of the net from the edge of the area. Ilkeston then went close when Hopkinson’s effort was cleared off the line. Reeves then fired just too high but Eastwood were now looking dangerous on the break as they sensed that they could add to their lead. The Badgers were defending with more confidence and Ilkeston were becoming frustrated. Ruben Mitchell went close for Eastwood before Jack Walker made an outstanding save to deny Jamie Walker with ten minutes left. The keeper then did well to keep out a Reece Fyfe shot but Eastwood then had a chance themselves on the break. In the dying moments Jack Walker pulled off another fine save from Alex Marshall and Tom Marshall blasted over with Ilkeston’s final chance. It was a famous win for Eastwood and Ilkeston’s Wembley dream was over.
