It's game over and Alfreton Town will visit Retford United in the fourth qualifying round on Saturday, Ocober 25.

9.43pm - GOAL - Ilkeston finally reduce the arrears to 3-1 in the third minute of stoppage time when Pringle got away down the left and delivered a peach of a cross to the back post where CALLUM GREEN steered home a header for his first goal for the club. It was a deserved goal for the Robins' efforts in the second half.

9.43pm - Alfreton go close to a fourth when Ben Muirhead speeds away down the left but his shot finds the side netting.

There will be three minutes of added time.

9.37pm - Tom Evans denies Ilkeston even a consolation goal as his point blank save keeps out Morgan-Smith's shot on the turn from eight yards.

9.37pm - Ben Pringle breaks into the Alfreton penalty area at pace but sees his shot blocked by visiting skipper Tom Curtis.

9.34pm - Alfreton Town make their first change with Jordan Hall replacing Paul Clayton with eight minutes to go.

9.25pm - David Holdsworth uses his last throw of the dice with 15 minutes left as he replaces Rob Scott with Ben Pringle.

9.27pm - Ilkeston are certainly giving it a good go but despite Church firing a 25-yarder over the top, Tony Butler is proving impassable with a succession of clearing headers coming from the big man at the heart of the visiting defence.

9.25pm - The rain is falling quite sharp now and the elements could make it interesting as the game has opened out into an end to end affair.

9.20pm - The attendance is announced as 848, 28 more than the first clash at the Impact Arena on Saturday. Who says there is a credit crunch?

9.18pm - Ilkeston substitute Green is booked for a foul on Matt Wilson. A minute later Kris Bowler followed him into the book for persistent misconduct.

9.11pm - Ilkeston make another change with Callum Green replacing Jon Douglas. The Robins are certainly not lying down and they attack strongly to win two successive corners, the second one of which is volleyed wide by Morgan-Smith.

9.06pm - Alfreton are so close to adding a fourth as Martin McIntosh's left-footed 25-yard free-kick crashes back off the underside of the bar with Adamson beaten. Tom Jones had conceded the foul with a charge on Clayton.

9.02pm - Matt Wilson is the game's first caution of the tie after felling Paul Hurst just outside the penalty area. Morgan-Smith put the 20-yard free-kick a yard or so over the top.

Ilkeston manager David Holdsworth has made a change for the second half with Amari Morgan-Smith replacing Steve Istead.

As the PA belts out Hot Chocolate's 'I believe in miracles' Ilkeston will come out needing one in the second half.

Matlock Town are 2-1 up at half-time with the second goal coming from former Alfreton player Rob Pacey who joined the Gladiators today.

It's half time and it has been a great half for Alfreton Town who just need to avoid doing anything silly in the second 45 minutes to clinch a fourth qualifying round tie at Retford United.

8.37pm - Howell and Douglas got free down the inside roght channel, Howell had a clear shot at goal but took the shot with his unfavoured left foot and put it a couple of feet wide of Evans's left hand post.

8.36pm Howell fed Duncum on the left but his low drive was saved well at the base of the post by TomEvans.

8.29pm - GOALIt's now 3-0 with 36 minutes gone. PAUL CLAYTON stabs home from six-yards after Martin McIntosh's ball into the area was chested down into Clayton's path by Davidson.

8.28pm - Eastwood Town are leading 2-0 in their FA Cup third qualifying round replay at Harrogate Town who have had James Dean sent off. Richard Dunning and Ian Holmes with the goals for Eastwood.

8.28pm - Ilkeston are enjoying more possession but are also struggling to unlock a very tight Reds defence.

8.23pm - Not that either set of fans will care but Derbyshire rivals Matlock Town are 1-0 up in the UniBond Premier Division courtesy of Ross Hannah's goal against visitors North Ferriby United.

8.20pm - The ball is in the Ilkeston net again with Clayton despatching a firm 12-yard header into Adamson's bottom corner from Anton Brown's left side free-kick but the away fans' joy is cut short by an assistant's flag which ruled the effort out.

8.16pm - There are big shouts for an Ilkeston penalty when Anthony Howell went down all too easily under a challenge from Matt Wilson at the end of a run down the left side of the penalty area. The referee is totally unimpressed and waves play on.

8.12pm - A skilful run from Ben Muirhead gets him inside the Ilkeston area and beyond two defenders before superb cross to the far post unfortunately went unfinished as Clayton couldn't keep the ball down.

8.10pm - The rain is steadily falling on what looks a really lush surface.

8.06pm - It's now all about how Ilkeston react to the shattering blow of conceding two goals in the first three minutes and they are trying to regain some composure. As you would expect, Alfreton are now full of confidence and playing the ball around well.

7.58pm - GOAL. Alfreton Town are amazingly 2-0 up from the penalty spot after home keeper Adamsom felled Davidson in the area as he went to go past him. JOSH LAW competently despatched the spot kick and Alfreton are in dreamland.
There is no card at all for Adamson eventhough he was the last man as Davidson was going away from goal.

7.56pm - GOAL An incredible start to the replay as Alfreton go ahead after just 11 SECONDS.
Ilkeston lost possession from the kick-off and the ball was fed down the inside left channel for DANNY DAVIDSON to advance into the penalty area and slip a right-footed shot under Chris Adamson from the angle of the six yard box.

7.39pm It has just been announced that the kick-off hs been delayed ten minutes and will now start at 7.55pm.
That's going to make it a very late night if it goes to extra time and penalties - not that I am pre-empting it!

7.31pm It looks as though Nicky Law has abandoned the 4-3-3 formation he set up with last Saturday and he looks set to go with 4-4-2 with Danny Davidson partnering Paul Clayton.

7.10pm The teams are announced and Alfreton manager Nicky Law has opted to start with Jordan Hall on the bench after his return from suspension.

With Anton Brown being passed fit after suffering mild concussion at the end of the first half, Matt Wilson has taken over the right back role.
The other big news is that Leo Fortune-West has been dropped to the bench, his place being taken by Paul Clayton.
For Ilkeston there is just one change from Saturday with Steve Istead coming in for Curtis Shaw who is on the bench on which Robins top scorer Amari Morgan-Smith finds himself again.
