It’s Match Day No.6
Hyde United are our opponents and it could be a goal fest. We haven’t scored in our two previous games so It’s bounce back time.
Please come and show your support for the club and help us to secure a much needed three points following two defeats on the road.

There's Bank Holiday Monday football at the Microlise New Manor Ground as we host Hyde United in the first of three home games on the bounce!

I said 10 points from the first six matches would be good.
If we can get a win today we will have nine points which is only one point less then what I thought would be a good return.
That’s if we win.
Surely we can’t lose three in a row. We just need to get that first goal of the game to give us some confidence and momentum. That means not being afraid to have a shot at goal when an opportunity presents it's self.
We’ve got a decent squad and results will come

Good attack by Hyde but Walker calmly heads back to Wharton. Hyde are looking the better side so far. Rawsthorn tries to catch Wharton out but Ilkeston's keeper recovers. Deakin gets booked 0-0. 15 mins

Nothing from Ilkeston going forward so far. Decent chance for Hyde’s Rawsthorn but he puts it over the bar. Goal Ilkeston Sam Parker's header from quite a long way out goes in off the far post, 1-0. 22 mins

Great cross by Brandy but no one there. Dixon cross blocked for a corner. Header goes just wide but it’s another corner. And it’s a pen.

**Posted by Matchman** 25/8/2025 2:32 PM

Walker scores, Keeper Mersin guesses right but he can’t save it 2-0. 31 mins

Dixon breaks but can’t quite pick out Fox. Hyde appeal for a pen but I don’t think so.

**Posted by Matchman** 25/8/2025 2:41 PM

Great save by Wharton then followup shot gets blocked before Ilkeston eventually clear. That was close.
Brandy brought down after getting past his marker, free kick wide left. Daniel connects but his effort hits the outside of the post 2-0. 41 mins

**Posted by Matchman** 25/8/2025 2:47 PM

Excellent play by Stevens. Now Ilkeston free kick 30 yds out for handball. its clear by Hyde. Brandy booked for a trip. Too many stoppages in this game.
Goal and It’s FOX

SUPERB HEADER BY FOX MAKES IT 3-0. 45 MINS

Drinks break after only 7 minutes????? Something must have happened. I think the lino is feeling unwell.

**Posted by Matchman** 25/8/2025 3:17 PM

Apparently it’s the ref who’s injured or unwell. An appeal has been made for someone to come forward to referee or run the line.
It's now announced that we have an official en route to the ground so there will be a 15 minute delay.
