3 April 2023

Central League game followed by friendly for Huddersfield Town B Team

- Huddersfield Town B travel to Wrexham in Central League
- Leicester host our Young Terriers in friendly
- Two games in two days for our youngsters

Huddersfield Town’s B Team have games on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, when they travel to take on Wrexham and Leicester City.

Our first game sees the Young Terriers travel to Wales to play Wrexham in the Central League on Tuesday 4 April at 1pm, with the game taking place at Nantwich Town FC (Optimum Pay Stadium, Water-Lode, Nantwich, CW5 5BS).

The Young Terriers come into this game on the back of a 7-1 home Central League win over Preston North End on Wednesday 29 March, which saw goas from six different goal scorers – Michael Stone, Scott High, Kian Harratt, Myles Bright, Tyreece Simpson and Kyle Hudlin.

Our last game against Wrexham saw us draw 1-1 at the Millers Oils High Performance Complex back in September 2022.

Town’s future Terriers currently sit third in the Central League table, whilst Wrexham sit at the bottom in seventh with one win out of their last five league games.

Spectators are welcome to attend this Central League fixture with no admission fees.

Our B Team’s second game will take place the next day on Wednesday 5 April at 12.30pm as they are straight back on the road to take on Leicester City in a friendly, with the game taking place at LCFC Training Ground (Park Hill, Seagrave, Loughborough, LE12 7NG).

This game will be a great test for our youngsters as they play the Academy of Premier League side Leicester City.

YOUNG B TEAM SHOW FIGHT IN WREXHAM DEFEAT

4 April 2023

A young Huddersfield Town B Team lose out 3-1 on the road at Wrexham

- Wrexham 3-1 Huddersfield Town B
- Young side undone in second half
- B Team play again tomorrow against Leicester City

Facing off against a strong Wrexham reserve side containing several of their first team regulars, a young Town B Team performed admirably before being undone in the second half.

Getting off to a competitive start, it was the hosts who took the lead after 17 minutes, making great use of the ball and looking comfortable in possession.

Undeterred, the Young Terriers fought for a way back into the game and their own pressure told just after the half hour mark, with Hazeem Bakre firing in from range after 31 minutes. A deserved equaliser, Town enjoyed spells of possession and pressure in the first half, but equally had to defend their own box well on occasions, which they did with real commitment.

After the break, Wrexham’s physical advantages showed thanks to their first team experience. Scoring in minute 47 and 85, the home side bookended the half with goals that ultimately put the game beyond Town despite a strong showing from the younger side.

Back in action tomorrow, the B Team will travel to Leicester City to test themselves against the Foxes with a much more familiar and experienced team likely to take the field. A great experience for many of our U19 players this afternoon, this was another step in the right direction for those within the group who will be looking to play B Team football on a more regular basis going forward.
