A trip to Staffordshire is on the agenda for the Robins next as we travel to face Leek Town on Saturday in NPL Premier Division Premier action.
Our defence of the Derbyshire Senior Cup got underway on Wednesday evening as we beat Clay Cross Town by three goals to one. Jay Glover grabbed his first for the club before Dylan Reason and Anthony Dwyer sealed the victory.
It also provided a chance for some players who did not start the fixture against Hyde last Saturday to get some extremely valuable minutes.
This weekends’ contest sees two teams competing who are in contrasting veins of form. Leek have fallen to defeat in their last three games, whilst Ilkeston have won their most recent three.
Last time out, Leek were defeated by Guiseley, with Lucas Weir on target for the Blues, his 4th of the season so far.
Should we emerge victorious, we could rise to as high as 16th, with the bottom half of the league being extremely tight to call.
The contests between the sides were split evenly last season, with Ilkeston claiming victory at Harrison Park, before Leek were victorious at the Microlise New Manor Ground.
We hope to see as many of you make the journey as possible, come on you Robins!
