Huddersfield Town's Young Terriers set to play Fleetwood Town in the Premier League Cup

- Fleetwood Town vs Huddersfield Town
- Game at Clitheroe FC on Tuesday 6 February
- Ticket information below for the 7pm kick-off

Our B Team are back in Premier League Cup action on Tuesday evening as we travel to Fleetwood Town for a 7pm kick-off.

Following our loss to already qualified Nottingham Forest at the John Smith’s Stadium on Friday 19 January, we now travel to Fleetwood Town to play our final group stage game.

We welcomed Fleetwood Town to the John Smith’s Stadium on Friday 10 November 2023 for the reverse of this fixture, which finished 0-3 to our visitors.

This fixture is a must win game for both teams, since Nothingham Forest have already qualified for the knockout stages, there is just one space left with only a point currently separating Fleetwood Town from catching up to our Young Terriers.

Our final Premier Leage Cup group stage game will take place at 7pm on Tuesday 6 February, with the game being held at Clitheroe FC’s EcoGiants Stadium (Shawbridge, Shawbridge St, Clitheroe, BB7 1LZ).

Supporters are welcome to attend Tuesday evening’s 7pm kick-off, with tickets available for £5 Adults and £3 Concessions on the turnstiles with payment accepted by either cash or card.

Huddersfield Town B end Premier League Cup campaign with 4-2 defeat to Fleetwood Town

- Fleetwood Town 4-2 Huddersfield Town B
- Goals from Cian Philpott and Danny Isaac
- B Team eliminated from Premier League Cup

A loss on the road at Fleetwood Town ended the B Team’s campaign in the Premier League Cup for another season, despite goals from Cian Philpott and Danny Isaac in the second half.

Essentially a straight shootout between the sides to qualify from the group, Town went into the game knowing a win would likely present them an away tie with Tottenham Hotspur in the next round of the competition.

Overseen by Academy Head of Coaching George Danaher and Academy Coach Oran Thompson in the absence of Kevin Russell and Michael Tonge - both of whom are assisting Academy Manager Jon Worthington with our First Team - the Terriers were a goal down heading into the break, with the hosts adding a second shortly after.

Halving their arrears through Cian Philpott from the spot, the home side struck again before 17-year-old substitute Danny Isaac got himself on the scoresheet, making it 3-2 entering the final stages. Opening up in search of an equaliser, the Young Terriers were caught again before full-time, with the home side qualifying for the knockout rounds on the back of their 4-2 win.

An unfortunate end to another season in the Premier League Cup, it’s been a transitional season at that level for the Club, with Jon Worthington’s focus moving to his Academy Manager role and Kevin Russell introduced to the technical staff to oversee the coaching at that level. Promoting several players to First Team level and with others out on loan, the side has also changed significantly this season, by design.
