Today I have a great view from the stand. Loud support for Corby at the start. Constant drum beat making a good atmosphere. Nothing much to report in first 5 minutes.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 1:10 PM

Still no goal threats and Corby are having slightly the better of possession. first chance to Corby but its wide.
Corby 's Draper fires miles over the bar.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 1:18 PM

Play has been scrappy with neither side taking control. 20 minutes gone no goals.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 1:27 PM

Corner kick to Ilkeston comes to nought. Still no chances created up front but Ilkeston now pushing forward more. Shelton puts Morris through but its well defended for a corner.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 1:33 PM

Another free kick for Ilkeston in a good position. Comes to Coleman but he blasts wide. Goddard plays a good ball forward but Lavelle-Moore doesn't anticipate it. Ilkeston now on top but without threatening. Still goalless after 35 minutes

Matchman · 08/10/2016 1:39 PM

Corby keeper called into action at last. Good Ilkeston move but lino flag goes up belatedly. Good defensive work by Baker. Lavelle-Moore heads across goal but no one there. Five minutes to half time.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 1:44 PM

Brilliant save by Durrant from close range shot prevents Corby going ahead on 41minutes. Then another chance for Corby but shot is just wide. Two great opportunities for Corby inside a minute. It's half time 0-0.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:05 PM

Goal Corby on 48 miniutes. Kenworthy og

I've lost connection so will continue using phone. Corby's goal followed a near miss by Ilkeston

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:12 PM

The game has now livened up with both teams gong for it. Corby almost got a second but Durrant saved.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:16 PM

I think there will be more goals. Hour gone . Ilkeston are trying to get back into the game. levelle- Moore off Dwyer on

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:21 PM

It's mainly Ilkeston at the moment but no goal threat. Rose heads goalwards but it's wide.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:26 PM

Foster header saved then Corby break and nearly score . 70 minutes gone.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:29 PM

Lucky escape for Corby as ball hits defender on line. Atkinson replaces Kenworthy. Penalty Ilkeston

Ben Morris in 92nd minute. This was after Shelton shot rattled the bar. 2-1.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:50 PM

It's finished. Boos ring out around the ground. Ilkeston win 2-1.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 2:53 PM

What a finish ! Much better second half from Ilkeston. Ilkeston fans behind goal are delighted. Chang of fortune at last.

Matchman · 08/10/2016 5:35 PM

Apologies for the brief loss of service at start of second half which included Corby's opener. Kenworthy's own goal was really unlucky. He was on the goal line and just couldn't get his feet out of the way when the ball hit him and trickled over the line to the delight of the massed Corby fans behind that goal. Ironically that was the signal for Ilkeston to spring into life. After a dull first half there were now chances at both ends. Ilkeston were generally on top but there was always a risk from Corby punishing them when breaking forward. The equaliser eventually came when Ilkeston were rightly awarded a penalty when Coleman was tripped. Coleman stepped up but his shot was pushed out by Corby keeper Aidan Grant. Coleman was quick to follow up though and made no mistake the second time. That was no more than Ilkeston deserved. After that both sides had their chances to win it but it was Ilkeston who finished the stronger and two minutes into added time a Ben Morris shot was deflected past Grant for the winner. Delighted for Ben; fortunate deflection maybe, but if you don't shoot you don't score. After three defeats it was a relief to win and the fans gave the players a rousing reception at full time. After the game the Corby keeper had to receive treatment in the dressing rooms from medics. Apparently he was having breathing difficulties. Best wishes to him for a speedy and complete recovery.
