 WhiteBallProject Man of the Match

 

Ben Scott - A match winning performance by Scott which kept the Robins in the game when Marine were on top.

 

Post Mortem

 

Ilkeston Town will be hoping that this dramatic win against a team challenging for the title will be the start of the end of their fight to avoid relegation. despite the fact that the Robins were a bit fortunate to survive in the first thanks to Scott should not detract from what is an excellent result.

 

Veteran Knowles came in as cover for the injured Ludlam and Holmes filled in for Jervis as a left wing back. Holmes did play full back as a schoolboy. Miller has a very sound debut and the back four defended well.

 

Three points against Burscough on Saturday should further enhance the Robins hopes of playing Premier Division football next season.
