Huddersfield Town Res 3-5 Oldham Athletic Res
Stu Vose

Lee Duxbury's reserves picked up another decent result as they produced a convincing performance to see off Huddersfield Town on their own turf.

Duxbury had named a strong side featuring a number of senior pros, including Neal Eardley, Danny Whitaker and Chris O'Grady.

And it was O'Grady who caused a signficant amount of damage with a double strike, following on from helping to set up the winner for the first team against Walsall last night.

Athletic were a goal up within ten minutes thanks to a cool finish from Tom Eaves after a neat piece of individual skill from Whitaker.

It was two when O'Grady slotted home from a tight angle, and Latics were cruising when experienced defender put the ball into his own net.

The Terriers did manage to pull one back, but Nathan Kilcourse started the second half with a bang as he restored his side's three-goal advantage from 20 yards.

O'Grady topped things off with his second goal of the game, and although Town pulled two goals back in the closing stages, coach Duxbury was delighted with the showing.

"It was an excellent performance," he told oldhamathletic.co.uk.  "The lads played well and this was valuable match action for some of the fringe players."
