Tonight Ilkeston meet Quorn in the League Cup. Our opponents beat us 2-0 ten days ago in our last league match at the Farley Way Stadium so we will be looking for instant revenge. When the two teams met at the NMG in October, Elliott Reeves scored a last minute winner for Ilkeston. So it looks like being a really close contest and tonight's winners will be only one win away from the final. It should be a cracking game so come and watch if you can. If you can't make it you can follow the match progress here. Kickoff is 7 45pm Team news around 7pm.
One team is already through to the semifinals. Romulus beat Worcester 7-6 on penalties last night after the game ended 1-1.

Apart from the goalkeeper Quorn are fielding exactly the same team that played against us a week ago last Saturday. ie their strongest team.
It's almost kickoff time. Ilkeston are in all red, Quorn are in all blue. Quorn to kick off Ilkeston are attacking Car Park end. We're off ........

Free kick to Ilkeston after Marshall is man handled. Great cross by Hart but Mitchell plucks it out of the air. Quorn are looking the better side so far. Hart gets a shot in but it hits Kolodynski. Hart tries a lob with Mitchell off his line but its too high. 1-0 24 minutes

Good link up between Walker and Reeves. Reeves shot blocked. Another reeves shot blocked Better from Ilkeston. Kolodynski almost equaliser, denied by Mitchell's fingertips and the ball fortunately runs to an Ilkeston defender rather than Hart. Mitchell again rescues Ilkeston denying Kolodynski again. Still 1-0 34 minutes

Good save by Farrell from Reeves. Hart wins a corner for Quorn. Good play Dixon then Walker shot is blocked. Ilkeston now looking much more threatening going forward.. Three escapes for Quorn in as many seconds. Somehow the ball stays out of the net. 3-0 68 minutes

So the four teams to win through to the semi finals are; Ilkeston , Coventry Sphinx, Romulus and NKF Burbage.
Well done to Romulus and Burbage on eliminating Worcester and Long Eaton, two of the better teams.
After our comfortable quarter final victory against Quorn we must now fancy our chances of reaching the final which is usually played at Walsall.
Coventry Sphinx v Ilkeston would make a great final.
The semi final draw will be announced shortly.
