Action replay for young Huddersfield Town fans

On Monday, May 29, 2017, under David Wagner, the Terriers secured their first promotion to the Premier League with a penalty shoot-out victory over Reading at Wembley Stadium.

Captain Christopher Schindler’s winning penalty will forever be remembered amongst supporters, giving the club a place in the top-flight for the first time since 1972.

Being such a momentous day in the club’s history, the Town Foundation is asking junior supporters to revisit the occasion and write a short match report to mark the occasion.

They are looking for no more than 300 words, which will provide a fantastic opportunity to hone literacy skills from home.

The competition will be split into two age brackets (8-12 and 13-16) and some of the best will feature on the Town Foundation and Huddersfield Town websites (htafc.com).

They will also be published on The Yorkshire Post’s website, so your piece could reach a vast audience.

A traditional match report would focus on what happened on the pitch and post-match reaction from players and managers.

In addition to this, the Town Foundation is encouraging you to include some memories of the day from your perspective – whether you were watching from the stands at Wembley or on a television screen.

If you need to jog your memory on the events of the day, you can watch the whole 120-plus minutes on the Huddersfield YouTube (HTTV) channel.
