 WhiteBallProject Man of the Match

 

Mark Clifford- A good performance in what was a very disappointing team display.

 

Post Mortem

 

Ilkeston Town Manager Nigel Jemson bought back Ludlam to replace Knowles and called on Lyons to replace the injured Burns.

 

The Robins again started a game brightly and yet again went behind. When Muller equalised three minutes later it looked as though the Robins might be staging another comeback. However it was not to be and Radcliffe inspired by some excellent keeping by Hurst and the plain excellent Banim were too strong for a lacklustre Ilkeston team.

 

The Robins will now be looking forward to finally playing the first leg of the Derbyshire Senior Cup. The lads will be looking to gain some king of lead to take back to the New Manor Ground in May.
