The
League One
Full time: Bolton Wanderers 3 - Huddersfield Town 3
The Terriers once again suffered an apparent curse of an added time goal changing the result in five consecutive matches. It worked in Town's favour at two Easter games, but has redefined three potential wins for Town since as draws. The equaliser from Bolton this time came 11 minutes into added time.
Bolton had taken an early lead with a goal after 14 minutes and were still ahead at half-time. But in the space of 14 minutes in the second half, Town had turned around the score to 1-3 with first a David Kasumu goal, a Marcus Harness penalty a few minutes later, then a second from Kasumu. However, Town could not rest on their laurels as Bolton struck back in the 77th minute then hit in the fateful goal in the final minute of added time.
With again just one point from the game, the Terriers look to be increasingly in the hands of the results of the other clubs around them, most of whom have more games to play, in their quest to reach one of the promotion play-off positions.
Town briefly touched seventh place in the League One table at the end of their match but had slipped to ninth after the later matches.
Any hopes of reaching the promotion play-offs seemed to have disappeared as Stevenage led against already-promoted Lincoln City, but a late Lincoln goal also set that game to a draw.
The Terriers' chances remain slim, requiring them to win their two remaining matches while three teams immediately above them lose some of three remaining games.

Further areas cordoned off for Piazza scheme
The 1930s building is to be extended at its rear as part of work to turn it into a museum. The green space of the Piazza has also been dug over until a new Town Park is eventually created.
The new library building is nearing completion and is due to be opened in late summer this year.
A food hall at the former Queensgate Market, shown to the public at an open day last September, is now set to be delayed in its opening until the Spring of next year after the additional expense of fitting it out.
Kirklees Council has planned the redevelopment of the area around the former Market Hall which has seen the demolition of part of the Market building to allow a new public square to be created in front of the old library building and beside the Town Hall.
The listed part of the Market building with its unique airy roof design and sculptured panels along Queensgate is being retained as part of the new food hall, social dining area and part of the new library.
