Huddersfield Town 2, Doncaster Rovers 2

Mar 6 2006 By The Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Then Town could have been two up when, on 14 minutes, Booth had a volley tipped onto the roof of the net by Danish goalkeeper Jan Budtz.

But instead of 2-0, it was 1-1 a minute later as the Town defence was caught cold in the wake of a handball appeal against Clarke.

D'Urso waved away Doncaster's claims, but as the ball broke to the edge of the area, Price, a recent £50,000 buy from Hull, picked his spot with a well-struck left footer.

Booth was Town's most potent force, and he set up Brandon, whose shot again lacked power, before heading over on 18 minutes than across the face of goal after 26.

Doncaster then created chances for Price and Green (after 31 and 33 minutes), but both men fired straight at goalkeeper Senior.

McCormack drove a seemingly dangerous 37th-minute free kick straight into the Town wall, and Rovers were soon left to rue their misses.

Right-back Simon Marples conceded a free-kick wide out for a push on left-back Smith, who fired in the set-piece.

It was headed back across goal by Booth to Graham, whose right-foot shot crept into Budtz's left-hand corner for the on-loan Sheffield Wednesday man's fifth goal in seven games.

Graham could have grabbed a second four minutes after the restart, but shot too high.

Then Senior produced a good save to deny McCormack from a Fortune-West lay-off.
