Result
90 mins
FULL-TIME ALFRETON 3-0 LUTON TOWN - Stay tuned for photographs, reaction and a full report all on lutontown.co.uk.
89 mins - Well that's summed up the Town's day as Drury smashes over a free-kick from 25 yards way, way over Gamble's crossbar.
84 mins - Alfreton are still in the hunt for a fourth and are restricting the Town to very little in attack.
80 mins - 10 minutes left on the clock and it's still 3-0. Gallen and Crow have hardly had a kick since coming on.
76 mins - A change for the Town as Poku replaces Blackett. The switch sees G. Pilks move back to centre-half.
74 mins - Almost 4-0 as K.Pilks has to turn away Moults close range effort after he'd got away from the Town defence. That was close.
70 mins - Two goals in the space of 60 seconds has put this friendly to bed with 20 minutes left. Firstly Hall finishes really well from 18 yards into the corner of the net after taking a nice Ross pass and then, with the Town still half asleep, the hosts' manager's son gets in on the act by curling the ball home into the top right hand corner after the Hatters had failed to clear a bouning ball in the six yard box.
70 mins
GOAL! ALFRETON 3-0 Hatters
69 mins
GOAL! ALFRETON 2-0 Hatters - Oh dear.
67 mins - Very little in the way of opportunities for either side at the minute as the Town making another change. It's A. Murray off for Newton.
62 mins - Double change for the Hatters as Gallen and Crow replace MBH and Craddock. We still can't believe Tommy's miss.
60 mins - Well it should be one a piece but somehow Craddock has spurned a fantastic chance at the back-post after being found by MBH's right-wing cross. We all thought it was in. Somehow he hasn't converted. Incredible miss. He won't need reminding I'm sure.
59 mins - We think it's 1-1 but it isn't! More in a second...!
59 mins - The gate here at the Impact Arena is 392.
57 mins - Half a sniff for Craddock as he reacts to two Alfreton defenders getting in each other's way but the striker can only blaze a shot on the half volley over Gamble's crossbar.
55 mins - Then all of a sudden it's end-to-end as firstly Brown races through on goal for the hosts after seizing A. Murray's misplaced pass. Murray makes amends by putting in a strong challenge to win the ball back and then he then plays in MBH who in turn finds Drury but Alfreton eventually snuff out the danger.
53 mins - I wish I could bring you better news but there isn't any at the minute. Alfreton have perhaps started the brighter of the two sides at the beginning of this half but as yet neither goalkeeper have been tested. Still 1-0.
48 mins - Early chance in this second period for the Town but Howells' free-kick, after Drury been fouled on the edge of the box, is wayward.
47 mins - The introduction of Howells has seen him line-up at left-mid with Drury swapping flanks and Adam Murra moving into the centre of the park alongside Pilks.
46 mins
We're away in the second half as the Town kick-off and there's been a change with Jake Howells on for Stefan Bailey.
15:47 FAMILIAR FACES
For the record Claude Gnakpa and Ed Asafu-Adjaye are here at the Impact Arena. They're not in boots - they're in trainers - so they won't be coming on, I suspect.
HALF-TIME
Alfreton Town 1-0 Luton Town - And that's the half-time whistle. It's been a competitive and niggly affair so far. Check back in 15 minutes for the second half updates together with, no doubt, all the substitutes.
44 mins - A good passage of play for the Town breaks down as Alfreton clear as a good move between Gleeson, Drury and MBH shows encouragement.
40 mins - There had been a real dearth of chances but then Gamble gets his gloves warm against when getting his hands to a vicious free-kick from Drury, hit from just outside the box after Bailey had been upended.
35 mins - Alfreton are looking the more comfortable of the two sides at the moment but the Hatters almost get lucky as a Murray pass is blocked goalwards by a home defender that bounces just wide of the post. The seconds later, the hosts attack and Hearn whacks a shot high, wide and handsome.
29 mins - MBH and Craddock are trying to get things going and after MBH is harshly adjudged to have fouled his marker, Money tells the referee exactly what he thinks of that decision.
26 mins - More pressure from the Town and Gamble in the home goal again comes to Alfreton's rescue with top save, diving to his right, to keep out Drury's firm shot from the edge of the area after he'd cut inside his man. Unlucky. All round good football.
23 mins - It's a bit stop-start from the Hatters now but there's signs that they still can get it on deck and play it around as Murray almost finds Drury.
19 mins - And another for the Town as Craddock is denied by a sprawling save by Gamble after being found by MBH's neat turn and pass. The Hatters are slowly getting into this now.
18 mins - Chance for the Hatters as MBH heads a inswinging right-wing corner from Drury into the midriff of Fazledean with Gamble, the home goalkeeper, also on hand to stop the ball rolling home.
16 mins - Contrary to rumours Kevin Gallen isn't playing in a Masters tournament this afternoon - he's here at the Impact Arena and on the substitutes' bench.
14 mins - The Town haven't got motoring just yet and Alfreton are comfortably containing the men in white and blue.
11 mins
GOAL! ALFRETON 1-0 Hatters - Well to be honest with you it had been coming. Wilson breaks free of the Town defence playing for offside and draws a block by K. Pilkington. The ball loops high into the air that Brown heads goalwards but, despite the best efforts of Blackett on the line, the ball lands up dropping over the line.
8 mins - Back come the Town though as MBH wrestles free of his marker to flash a shot just wide of Gamble's left-hand post. A decent response from the visitors.
7 mins - Alfreton are knocking the ball around really well and stretching the Hatters at the minute and they come close to breaking the deadlock as Arnold's dangerous right-wing cross is met by Hearn who flicks the ball just the wrong side of the post. Unlucky.
3 mins - Early chance for the hosts and a combination of K.Pilks and Blackett snuff out a chance for Anthony Wilson after the Reds striker had momentarily got free latching onto Brown's clever throughball.
2 mins - The Town are lining-up as follows: K.Pilkington in goal, a back four of Gleeson, White, Blackett and F. Murray, a midfield of A. Murray, G. Pilks, Bailey and Drury with Craddock and MBH up top.
1 min
And we're away as Alfreton - last season's Blue Square North beaten play-off finalists kick-off on a lovely-looking green pitch.
14:58 HERE THEY COME
Out come the two sides onto the Impact Arena pitch. It's a tidy, neat little ground but is sparsely populated with a few Luton supporters in attendance. Alfreton are sporting their all red strip whilst the Town are in their change strip of white shirts, navy shorts and navy socks.
