Ilkeston Town 0 Dover Athletic 1

A FIRST half goal from Tommy Tyne gave Dover a big boost ahead of next Saturday's FA Cup first round clash with Oxford United.

Tyne's goal came after 39 minutes when Kenny Dyer found Nicky Dent on the edge of the box. His effort was blocked but the loose ball ran straight to Tyne who gave Ilkeston goalkeeper no chance from close range.

Ilkeston took control after the interval but were unable to break down a Dover side that defended well in numbers.
