First-half goals came from Will Alves and Lasse Sorensen while Cameron Ashia made sure that this time the fans saw a late goal at the right end of the pitch.

Trains affected by work beyond Leeds until January 25
TransPennine Route Upgrade work affecting train services is being carried out at Church Fenton in North Yorkshire.
Trains between Liverpool and Hull will be operating as usual via Leeds and Selby. An amended timetable on unusual routes of Manchester Victoria - Redcar and Manchester Airport - Newcastle will divert from Leeds non-stop through Castleford to York. The service from Manchester Piccadilly - York via Huddersfield, Mirfield and Wakefield is operating as normal through to York via stops at Normanton and Castleford and should achieve a Huddersfield - York journey a little faster than on a train to Leeds then diverting to York. Trains for Scarborough will begin at York.
Other disruptions at Huddersfield continue through the December to May timetable, including no stopping trains operating on the Huddersfield - Brighouse - Halifax - Low Moor - Bradford Interchange route and no Huddersfield - Leeds all-stops service. Some TransPennine Express services have stops at Mirfield (only hourly) or Dewsbury (two an hour). A stopping service not calling at Huddersfield is currently operating between Bradford (Halifax on Sundays) and Leeds via stations including Brighouse, Mirfield, Dewsbury, Batley and Morley. A bus replacement between Huddersfield and Brighouse takes 25 minutes via Deighton.
Much work continues to take place on other parts of the TransPennine Route Upgrade between Huddersfield and Dewsbury, including the first bridge sections of a new viaduct at Ravensthorpe, where the station is now closed until the construction of a new one a little further along the line. There is bus replacement between Huddersfield Road at Ravensthorpe and Dewsbury.

Second building at new health campus
It has already been named The Emily Siddon Building after Emily Frances Siddon, who lived from 1844 to 1923. She was a leading suffragist and played a leading role in the Poor Law Board of Guardians. She was born in Mansfield but moved to Honley, near Huddersfield, where she spent most of her life. She was president of the Soldiers & Sailors Families Association in Huddersfield in the First World War and president of the wartime Honley Auxiliary Hospital committee and received the MBE in 1918 for her war work.
The first construction on the site was officially opened in November 2024 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. Five more building projects for the site are being planned.
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.
Food hall set to open in 2026 beneath former market's unique roof
Kirklees Council has planned the redevelopment of the area around the former Market Hall. It 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 are being retained as part of a new food hall, social dining area and part of a new library. Work inside the conversion of the old Market Hall was revealed at an Heritage Open Day on September 18.
