AFTER Tuesday’s home game against Marske United was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, Warrington Rylands travel to Ilkeston Town on Saturday attempting to get back to winning ways after their 13 game league unbeaten run came to an end last Saturday.
Having finished 7th in the Southern League Premier Division Central Ilkeston Town switched to the Northern Premier League Premier Division during the summer but have not found the switch easy.
Despite topping the table in the opening weeks they have experienced a mixed season dropping as low as 12th at one point but enter Saturday’s game in 9th.
Sitting 11th in the current form table (Rylands are 13th) with 3 wins and a draw in their last six games. Having lost two games on the trot Ilkeston won 3-2 at Atherton Collieries last Saturday.
The two teams current league standings:
P W D L GF GA GD PTS POS
Rylands 15 8 5 2 21 13 8 29 2
Ilkeston 14 7 1 6 27 21 6 22 9
With a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats at their New Manor Ground home Ilkeston have the 16th best home record in the division while with 3 wins and 5 draws on the road Rylands still unbeaten away from home have the 3rd best away from Gorsey Lane.
