Neutrals would have had difficulty guessing which side were bottom of the table and which side were chasing the Championship in this clash at a blustery New Manor Ground in Ilkeston.Cables, without first choice Keeper Zac Jones and leading scorer Darren Byers, put up a brave performance but were undone by three individual errors. Cables started the brighter of the two sides and had the first attempt on goal as Mukta Mahama and Steve Williams linked well with the latter firing a low effort straight at the Ilkeston Keeper. On 15 minutes another sweet Cables moves sees James Croxton and Steve Williams set up Mukta Mahama to fizz a low 25 yard effort wide of the Ilkeston goal.
