Huddersfield 4XI (1) Vs. (3) Sheffield Hallam 6

Huddersfield turned up for another early start against a young Sheffield Hallam side, captained by the “pig-faced-little-b******” that we all remembered so well from the away fixture. Some bright early passing down both wings cut the visitors open early and Huddersfield were unlucky to not find the net in the first 5 minutes. As has happened too many times this season, the visitors took the lead from a set piece (that was pretty unstoppable) as the Sheffield striker blatantly mis-hit his strike at the short corner (as it actually went in). Huddersfield kept their heads high and some great work down the right wing found George Pritchard in the D, one quick pass onto Dan Stolworthy allowed a brilliantly placed strike into the bottom left corner to bring the home team back into the game. Unfortunately for the lads, Gurveer Birdi’s inspirational half time speech was closely followed by some input and a little bit of “tinkering” from foreign coach number 1 (Olivier De’Clarke). Needless to say, Huddersfield came out and seemed to be a shadow of their first half selves, and soon the young (bunch of t******) Sheffield team were ahead again. Another sloppy goal made it 1-3 to the visitors and all the late pressure from the home team could not bring them back into the game. Finally a big thank you for Chris and Ozzy for helping us out after we were short, and then when Jake got hit on his gammy ankle…

Man of the match - Dan Stolworthy for another great passing performance and an addition to his goal tally for the season

Dick of the Day - Dave Hales (and his mystery illness - absolute-ponse-itis) and Paul Golds (for being away for the weekend - we think a severe case of bum-chummery is probably the reason).
