On Saturday Ilkeston beat Tamworth to progress to the first round proper of the FA Cup. Ilkeston had to overcome a strong Tamworth side who are a league above them in the Blue Square Conference. Yet the Blue Square Northern Conference side came out on top 2 - 0 winners.
It is the first time in 10 years that the Robbins have made it to the first round proper and have been drawn against another strong side, in former league side Cambridge United.
The game will take place on Saturday the 7th of November at Cambridge's R Costings Abbey Stadium.

Busy, Busy, Busy
We certainly have a packed couple of weeks of work, with so much going to print, as well as a few longer term projects finishing for the year.
First off Ilkeston play Gloucester this weekend at the New Manor Ground, which means we are putting together the match day programme. Currently Ilkeston are sitting sixth in Conference North, eight places ahead of their opponents on Saturday. However Ilkeston are flying after a 4 - 1 FA Cup victory at the weekend over Mildenhall Town. Then next Tuesday, Championship side Derby are coming to the new manor ground for a friendly, which will certainly draw the crowds, and large sales of our match day programmes (fingers crossed)!
Secondly this weekend saw this years final of Street Athletics. All the results for the final are up on line now with pictures of the events to follow later this week. It has been an amazing year for Street Athletics with some incredible events, some amazingly talented athletes on display and of course a fantastic website (by 5or6 if you didn’t get the hint).
And last yet certainly not least, it is going to be a very busy few weeks for all the Estonian national football sides, as their international fixtures list is nearly as long as our 'to do' list! There are fixtures for the U-17's sides all the way up to the full national side. Its an incredible honour to be selected to represent a country, which is why we are still over the moon to be able to produce the match day programmes for all these fixtures (yet I'm not too sure how we will feel at the end of the week, I'm sure there will be some very late nights in there!).

The start of our Cup run
This weekend sees us produce our first programme for an FA cup tie, Ilkeston Town FC vs. Mildenhall Town
The programme features an interview with FA cup giant killing legend John Duncan, who managed Chesterfield to the FA semi final where they were cruelly knock out by a controversial last minute goal by Middlesbrough at Old Trafford in 1997.
