Millers 0 - Huddersfield Town 2

Last updated : 27 July 2004 By Bigrich.....
The Millers had made changes and began with Richie Barker and Will Hoskins up front. In all a strong team started: - Pollitt, Stockdale, Swailes, Gilchrist, Minto, Sedgwick, Mullin, Garner, Varnazza, Hoskins, R. Barker

But it was the League 1 team that took the lead, The Terriers took a corner which Mike Pollit failed to reach and it went in off David Mirfin.

The Millers were second best and despite a 30-yard strike towards the end of the first half did very little to trouble former Miller Ian Gray.

There were the usual changes at Half-time, Michael Proctor came on for Richie Barker. But no spark came and on the hour Huddersfield went 2 up.

Another Huddersfield corner saw John Mullin head past his own keeper.

The biggest cheer from the Millers came when a Huddersfield player took a throw-in but the ball came out of his hand mid throw but went in play.

Although the game was dour, the defence in the majority held firm, and we did have a couple of chances to score.

Went Close



Rob Scott, who was brought on and put up front, put a cross in from the left which Michael Proctor just narrowly missed, If he had got to it he would have scored, no doubt.

And the second was a nice move down the right, and a quick ball into Proctor, which he tried to backheal it into the goal, but it went just inches wide.
