It's a big tough physical Swanwick side. Ilkeston are kicking up the slope and are well in command.

Half time.  Swanwick 1 Ilkeston 2.

Offside flag saves Ilkeston on 75 minutes. Swanwick doing better uphill. Both sides have gone close several times.

3rd goal for Ilkeston on 88 minutes (own goal). 3-1.

This was a good test for Ilkeston's younger players against very physical opponents on a difficult sloping pitch. Ilkeston were clearly the better side but were severely tested by a tough Swanwick side. In my opinion Ryan Head and Max Thornberry both defended solidly throughout and enhanced their claims to be part of the first team squad.
