Another defeat for Huddersfield Town
Saturday's match League One
Exeter City 3 - Huddersfield Town 1
Saturday April 26, 3.00pm — St James Park, Exeter
A fifth lost game in a row sees Town continue their end of season slide to 10th place in League One. Town once again were the first to get ahead after a Josh Koroma goal after 20 minutes, but that was as far as it went for the Terriers before the three goal onslaught from Exeter. Town's final game of the 2024-25 season is at home against Leyton Orient next Saturday (May 3). Easter Monday result League One
Stockport County 2 - Huddersfield Town 1
Monday April 21, 3.00pm — Edgeley Park, Stockport
Huddersfield Town took on Stockport County away this Easter Monday and experienced a defeat which definitely seals their fate as a League One club again next season.Town stay in ninth place in the league but any last hope of reaching a play-off place from their two remaining games are now dashed.
The Terriers got ahead through a Josh Koroma goal just over an hour into the game. Stockport equalised after 74 minutes then got ahead with a 87th minute penalty following a yellow card foul by Matty Pearson in the penalty area. Town ended the game on a further low as Callum Marshall, who had come on as substitute for Koroma, was given a red card for a foul in the fifth minute of added time. Stockport stay in the fifth place play-off position which Town occupied for several weeks earlier in the year.

Pennine Way celebrates 60 years.
The Pennine Way is a 268mile (431km) walking route across wild landscapes in the hills and mountains of The Pennines from Edale in Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish borders. Well over 100 miles of that route is in Yorkshire.
Several miles are in the Huddersfield area from West Yorkshire's highest point at Black Hill (582m), across Wessenden Head Moor and past Wessenden Reservoir, climbing Blakely Clough to Black Moss Reservoir and Standege, then crossing recently fire-damaged moorland to Haigh Gutter Moss on the way to White Hill (466m).
Some of the Pennine Way route crosses the National Trust Marsden Moor estate and the National Trust is organising one of its regular guided walks this Sunday (April 27) to celebrate the anniversary. The 10-mile route from Marsden includes a section of the Pennine Way.

Yorkshire.guide website.

New leisure venue opens at Kingsgate
The Light was able to welcome its first visitors through the doors inside the Kingsgate shopping centre on Friday April 11.
Much construction work has taken place to create the £250m cinema and leisure complex, including raising the height of the building in the area previously occupied by the House of Fraser department store.
The Light offers a multi-screen cinema, bowling, laser games, mini golf, climbing centre, street curling, axe throwing, shooting, interactive darts, karaoke, arcade games among its activities together with food and drink.
Walls come down but unique roof stands at former market
Kirklees Council plans to redevelop the area around the Market Hall. The plans include demolition of part of the Market building to form a new public square in front of the library and beside the Town Hall.
A town park will stretch from the public square to the corner of King Street and Queen Street. The old library building is due to be retained as a museum.
The work means that bus stops in Peel Street have been taken out of use with the bus station now the only stop for the routes which used them.
Second building taking shape at new health campus
The first construction on the site was completed earlier this year and has been named the Daphne Steele Building. Daphne Steele was a nurse who came to the UK in 1951 from what was then British Guiana, now Guyana, to work in the recently-formed NHS. She became a matron at St Winifred's Hospital, Ilkley in 1964.
The new campus aims to lead healthcare innovation across the North of England and will feature a health and wellbeing academy, research and specialist clinical teaching facilities and public-facing features including a podiatry clinic, sports and physiotherapy clinic and health coaching by video link.
The site had been vacant since the demolition of Ibbotson and Lonsbrough Flats and the former Huddersfield Sports Centre while an earlier plan for a new Tesco store on the site was abandoned.
