The pitch looks in excellent condition. It's very warm and sunny so hopefully it will be a good attendance. Both Michael Williams and Joe Doyle are in the Matlock starting eleven. It's 10 minute to Kick off.

Good speedy break by Atkinson but he can't get enough power into his shot. Then Atkinson causes the home defence problems again with his speed. Neither side are on top at the moment. Shelton booked on 15 minutes for a push.

Saving clearance by Baker Rose fires wide from distance. Matlock slightly on top at the moment. 36 minutes gone and ref allows players take drinks.

Gordon ticked off for foul on Doyle. Cross from Atkinson lands on crossbar after good play by Dwyer. Dwyer then creates chance for himself but keeper saves. Ilkeston now on top.

Good save by Durrant following Matlock break. Excellent defending again by Foster breaks up Matlock attack. Matlock are piling up the corners but all dealt with so far. Atkinson goes down injured enabling another drinks break on 65 minutes.

Now Shelton is down with head injury. He carries on as does Atkinson. Dwyer having superb game up front.

Re: Matlock v Ilkeston - Match Updates
Game is more open now. Good play by Shelton nearly creates chance. 10 minutes left. Either side can win it.

Re: Matlock v Ilkeston - Match Updates
Substitution Atkinson replaced by Morris. Both sides looking for a winner. Ilkeston free kick 30 yards out. Matlock keeper fumbles but recovers. Great chance for Matlock but shot goes wide. Should have scored. I think it was Joe Doyle who fluffed his chance.
Its almost time.

Re: Matlock v Ilkeston - Match Updates
It's finished and Ilkeston pick up their first well earned point. Final score 0-0. Quite a decent game despite no goals. Luke Foster was immense in defence and gets my vote for star man
