After an even first half, the Terriers netted the game’s only goal in the 58th minute through Conor Falls, shortly after Max Woltman had rattled the crossbar from distance.
The young Reds were without leading goalscorer Layton Stewart, who is away on a training camp with England U19s, and Marc Bridge-Wilkinson took the chance to afford opportunities to several members of the U16s squad.
Mateusz Musialowski fashioned an early chance for himself by regaining possession from a defender before bearing down on goal, but Huddersfield goalkeeper Gio Bellagambi subsequently produced a fine stop.
A Tyler Morton pass then found Musialowski in the penalty area again, only for the Poland youth international’s attempts to find enough space to get a shot off to be thwarted.
