Again good defending by Tait.   Reid replaced by Bertram on 81 minutes     Brown-Hill volleys wide at the other end.  Corner to Spalding.    Another corner.        GOAL spalding and it was a cracker by No 4.     2-1   85 minutes

Chance for Troke but it's only a corner.   Goodson replaced by Mason Lee.  88 minutes 

This is nail biting.

there's the whistle,  we did it

Match Report  :

Tuesday 6th October 2020  :  Northern Premier League - South East Division
Spalding United  1 Ilkeston Town  2
Ilkeston remain unbeaten despite playing one short for 80 minutes after Charlie Marzano saw red. The Robins got off to a flying start with a goal inside the first five minutes. Alex Troke did really well keeping possession before giving Zak Goodson the opportunity to bulge the net. Ilkeston were well in command when Marzano’s late challenge was deemed to be worthy of a straight red. Despite the player advantage Spalding were kept at bay and Ilkeston made more scoring opportunities up until half time. Goodson was a constant threat while Spalding’s chances were few and far between.
The second half saw much more determination from the hosts. They had two big scoring opportunities in quick succession and Kieran Fenton had to clear off the line before Ilkeston swept down the other end and went two up on 54 minutes. Goodson was again the scorer taking his season’s tally to seven in six matches. Spalding were stung into action and Ilkeston were forced to defend for most of the remaining time. On the hour Ilkeston were fortunate when a Spalding effort hit  the outside of the post. As the game progressed Ilkeston were under almost constant pressure with Kieran Fenton outstanding at the back. Spalding finally broke through on 85 minutes and what a goal it was by Scott Floyd through a crowded goalmouth right into the far top corner. That signalled an almighty effort by Spalding to grab a point. Ilkeston were hanging on when the board went up showing five added minutes. A Spalding shot skimmed the crossbar but that was the closest they got as Ilkeston held on to the three points.
