Because of their exploits in the FA Cup and FA Trophy, Trinity have spent most of the season in the bottom half of the table. it's been a case of league form suffering because of playing so many matches. But they are recognised as one of the best sides in the league.
Their home record is P14. W5. D3. L6, F19, A20, Points 18.

Declan Howe was top scorer in the league last season and has scored 29 goals this season (15 in the league)

They are unbeaten in their last 5 matches (2 wins and 3 draws)

Could this be the match when our luck changes. We've been on the wrong end of several penalty decisions in recent matches. Maybe we'll get one at Gainsborough. Our's is the only midweek game this week so we have a chance to go within two points of Stockton. Keep the faith. Deaks and the team won't give up so why should we? All the teams around the playoffs are dropping points.

First corner to Gains. Header saved by Yates. Stevens and Brandy have shots blocked. Shot by Preston in space goes wide. 0-0. 7 mins

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:00 PM

Gains have probably made the better start but no chances yet. Defences on top. 0-0. 14 mins

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:09 PM

Both teams playing long ball. Ilkeston have not got started yet. Nearly Gains goal as ball flies across the six Yard box. 0-0. 23 mins

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:14 PM

first Ilkeston chance but keeper has it. McDonald drives into Gains area but the threat is ended with a good block. Bit better by Ilk just now. 0-0. 28 mins

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:22 PM

Ilkeston free kick near corner flag. Kirby-Moore misses his header from Walker's free kick. Or was he pushed? Good catch by Yates. Stevens dragged down as about to shoot. Daniel to take the kick . It hits the wall. 0-0. 36 mins

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:28 PM

Ball through to Howe but he's offside. Yates has to race out to grab the ball. Great run by Brandy but keeper gathers hid cross. 0-0. 42 mins

chance for Gains but Yates has it. 0-0. half time

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:38 PM

Not a great first half but we're level and neither side has really looked like scoring.

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:43 PM

Defensively we've been sound but up front we've done nothing.

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:48 PM

The players are back out

We're off again......

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 8:54 PM

Chance for Howe but he puts it wide. Strong start by Gains. Butroid floors Brandy in full flight and is booked.
0-0. 50 mins

**Posted by Matchman** 04/3/2025 9:08 PM

Parker receiving treatment for injury. He's okay. Kirby-Moore is brought down in area but ref waves appeals away. Incredible. 0-0. 63 mins
