See you at Wincham. (p.s. Thanks for not mooney )
Despite us scoring all the goals, there were long periods when we were under pressure and I think if it had ended 2-2 we would have said OK we could have won but settled for the point. The guys on the pitch didn’t and a Matty Woods pile driver in the top corner gave us all 3 points.
We battled hard and played some good football, in the end we got the points we deserved. A big well done to all concerned !!
Good pitch and a very good set up.Natives were friendly.Match as it has ben said hard fought.their number 8 is to watch out for.
Thank you Ilkeston.
What a goal from Matty !! :clap :clap :clap

Comment from the Ilkeston Forum:
“Overall we were not good enough. We had a good second half but Witton were a just a bit too clever for us on the day. We will improve but it is going to be a steep learning curve. Another team we allowed to physically bully us. We need to toughen or outplay these kind of teams.”
I’ve not heard that about a Witton team since the days of Kilduff!
Really enjoyed yesterdays game. Good noisy support from the home supporters which made it even sweeter to take the 3 points home! Agree with the earlier comment that a draw could have been a fair result but I would have been disappointed as the points were there for the taking and we made sure they came home with an outstanding strike from Woodsy.
While the performance wasn’t the best we have ever played I thought that it was very good and to come back from a goal down away from home shows again that this team never give up - i wasn’t worried when we went 1 down as I know that this group of lads can spring into life at any minute and cause teams problems.
Mom had to be Woods (not just for his strike) and I also though Hancock had a great 1st half. Conners did well when he came on and was unlucky not to score with one of his first touches. Also Ben played very well and got some vital headers in to keep Ilkeston out. - great goal aswell !
WELL DONE LADS KEEP IT UP!!! bowdown
Thats a very good win and important 3 points that keeps us in touch with the leaders, was a pretty good gate too Ilkeston sound like a very decent club too looking forwatrd to a home game now tomorrow well done to the lads UTA
Great stuff. Josh is really coming on this year, two great goals again. Shame we dont have a song for him.
Ilkeston’s second was clearly offside, very lax from the linesman. Bit of a giveaway that the player who took the corner was virtually standing on the goal line when the second player passed the ball to him!
Great finish Ben bowdown
