The pace of Ilford’s Addonis O’Holi caused Aveley problems early on but he wasted two good chances.
Millers once again had to contend with a bumpy playing surface and additionally some questionable refereeing decisions.
A Garry Skerritt cross nearly found Neil Richmond but the forward failed to make contact with the goal unguarded.
Ilford created a chance for Victor Omogibin but he shot well over the bar after good work by Chris Taylor and O’Holi.
Aveley then had an opportunity to open the scoring. Sean Thomas should have done better when clear through but Pepe Diagne did well to save. The breakthrough came in the 58th minute. Maskell’s free kick was still rising as it flew into the top corner, although Diagne did manage to get his finger-tips to it.
The Foxes kept searching for a goal, and James Marrable produced a good save late in the game following a dubious free kick.

Aveley : Marrable, Golby, Holloway, Wheeler, Maskell, Ketchell, Johnson, Wettner (Dadson 77), Elbi (Thomas 60), Richmond, Skerritt (Diaczuk 45)
