Good match last night. I thought Ilkeston were slightly the better team in the first half but in the second half the crowd raised the volume and the team upped the tempo with some neat attacking play and thoroughly desrved the victory in the end.
Some good goals as well.

Have we got a FA Trophy preview for the weekend i could be doing that one.

Next up, WORKSOP TOWN v FC UNITED in the FA Trophy Second Qualifying Round, Saturday 1st November 2008, Kick off 3:00pm. This match will be played at Watnall Road, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire,NG15 6EY. Admission POTG Adults £8 Concessions £4. FC United have their sights fixed on Wembley Way as they go into FA Trophy action this weekend. Tony Howard provides this preview.

"The Reds face a tough trip to Nottinghamshire side Worksop as they bid to emulate the upset caused when Unibond league side Burscough won the trophy in 2003. Manager Karl Marginson, who won the competition with Macclesfield Town in 1996, is confident United can reverse their poor form in previous FA competitions and go all the way to Wembley. He said: "Burscough showed that teams in this league can go all the way and win the trophy, so we are confident of a good run and, who knows, maybe a day out at Wembley. "The supporters who made a stand against the greed in the Premier League by forming this club probably thought they may never go to Wembley again, but we want to keep that dream alive. "We haven't performed great in the FA cups so far, but we saw with our last minute win against Radcliffe in the last round that our luck may be changing. "We've won league titles and league trophies but it’s the FA competitions that excite Manchester United fans and we want to do justice to our history by having a good go at reaching Wembley. And Margy added "Worksop are in our league, so we've got to fancy our chances." FC United go into the game after an impressive 3-1 victory over one of the favourites for the Unibond Premier League title. Goals from Kyle Wilson and brace from Carlos Roca saw United beat Ilkeston Town at Gigg Lane (last Wednesday). Get yourself to that football ground and cheer the lads on towards FA Trophy glory."

Worksop Town club secretary Keith Ilett reckoned that the Tigers faced their toughest game of the season up against an impressive FC United of Manchester in the Second Qualifying Round of The FA Trophy.

He was proved right when the Red Rebels ran out easy 3-0 winners at Watnall Road with two goals from Kyle Wilson and another by Dave Chadwick. However, Ilett admits he has no complaints after losing to a 'quality' side.

“They passed the ball very well and impressed me greatly,” he said.

“They looked excellent at times today and are the best side we’ve played so far this season.

“They are a very young and fit side, they played a good passing game and showed some nice little touches in this performance.”

The visitors took just 13 minutes to take the lead against Peter Rinkcavage’s men.

Simon Carden was brought down in the penalty area and striker Wilson slotted home the resulting spot kick to give United an early advantage.

Worksop had a chance to level the match just before the break when Steve Robinson floated a dangerous free-kick into the penalty area only for an unmarked Chris Glavey to see his header cannon back off the goalkeeper from point-blank range.

The hosts were made to pay for this missed chance as the Rebels produced a fantastic second half showing.

Defender Chadwick stole in to head the Reds’ second goal after the Tigers' backline failed to clear from a set-piece on 49 minutes.

Karl Marginson’s side continued to press with slick and attractive football, eventually rounding off the game with a third goal courtesy of Wilson.

A piercing long ball again deceived the Worksop defence and the striker finished coolly to cement his team's place in the next round of the competition.
