Been told it was Mickleover manager Gareth Holmes who got a red card earlier. We’re hearing that Holmes shouted something inappropriate at an Ilkeston player that was heard by the linesman who informed the referee.
We’re off again for the second half.
Great run by Ferron gets Mickleover a corner.
An Ilkeston free kick is well grabbed by the home keeper. He was under a lot of pressure.

Ilkeston are looking for another goal that would give them a cushion, but Mickleover are resisting.
