Graham Mitchell's under-18 side were well worth their point at Middlesbrough in the latest FA Premier Academy League game of the season.
Town started the game slowly and conceded an early goal to the hosts, but fully deserved their 70th minute equaliser through winger Aiden Chippendale, who hit a very good left-foot drive across the Middlesbrough goalkeeper and into the far corner.
The Terriers pushed hard for a winner in the closing stages and Middlesbrough were reduced to ten men after one of their players received a second yellow card. They could have been down to nine in the final few moments after their goalkeeper brought down Michael McCaffery just outside the penalty area, but the referee only showed a yellow card to the custodian.
Town's Team (4-3-3):
Lloyd Allinson; Greg Pearson, Adam Bower, Adam Field, Stephen Powell; Ryan Watson, Chris Atkinson, James Spencer; Josh McLean (Jordan Sinnott 65), Shane Birtles (Michael McCaffery 55), Aiden Chippendale
Unused Sub: Jordan Porter
