Ilkeston
Town's recent run of poor form continued with a disappointing defeat at
second from bottom Rossendale United. Dean Cooper got the winner with
just three minutes remaining. The reverse sees the Robins slip down to
fourth place as Willenhall and Telford both picked up maximum points.
The misery was completed by an injury to Mick Goddard and the
late sending off of Stuart Copnell (pictured left).
Ilkeston
Town dropped two points at home to Clitheroe due to a late own goal from
keeper Ross Turner. Mark Clifford had given Ilkeston the
lead on 48 minutes and the Robins totally dominated an often bad tempered
game. Clitheroe were reduced to ten men in the second half and
managed to go the whole game without a shot on target and still got a
point.
Ilkeston
Town bounced back after their defeat against Kendal Town on Saturday in
the best possible way by beating local rivals Eastwood Town 1-0 with a a
goal from Mick Goddard (pictured left) in the 82nd
minute settling the issue.
