The game has been re arranged for Tuesday 19th April. Whilst the Robins went without a game promotion North Ferriby United and AFC Telford both won. North Ferriby are now eleven points clear at the top but Ilkeston have four games in hand.

Local rivals Eastwood Town and Alfreton Town both managed to escape the ravages of the weather. Eastwood were surprisingly well beaten by Chorley whilst Alfreton fought out a dour 0-0 game with Worcester City. WhiteBallProject attended this game to see how the large contingent of ex Robins were now fairing. Chris Bettney and David Holmes played for Alfreton and Worcester fielded Leon Kelly and Barry Woolley. Ironically the best of the bunch was Chris Bettney who was probably was the least successful whilst at the New Manor Ground.
