After a frustrating midweek defeat to Lancaster City, Anthony Johnson’s men will be hoping to get back on track this weekend at home to Ilkeston Town.
Defeat midweek has dropped The Shakers to 8th in the table, while our opponents sit three points behind in 14th.
Ilkeston Town drew 1-1 at Ashton United in their midweek fixture.
Players to have represented both clubs include Shaun Harrad and Danny Racchi.
In Opposition – Ilkeston Town
The club was formed in 2017 after the previous club, Ilkeston FC, folded the same year.
The club claimed two promotions in their first two years, finishing second in the Midland Football League in their first season on 95 points, and clinching the Midland Football League Premier Division title in 2019.
The same year, club founder Alan Hardy sold the club to then manager Mark Clifford.
Ilkeston won the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands title in the 2021-22 season, being allocated to the Southern Football League for the 2022/23 season. This is now their fourth season back in the Northern Premier League.
