Booth strike seals Terriers win

Booth: On target for Huddersfield

Booth, who is out of contract at the end of the season, tapped home the only goal of the game on the hour mark after Michael Collins' toe-poke was parried by Rovers goalkeeper Danny Coyne.

Tranmere went closest to breaking the deadlock in a lacklustre first half through Chris Shuker with 31 minutes gone.

The nippy winger raced onto Chris Greenacre's deft pass, only to be foiled by Huddersfield stopper Matt Glennon, who produced a fine save.

Terriers talisman Booth almost grabbed his second of the contest late on, but he was unable to convert a goal-line scramble, with Coyne snuffing out the opportunity as Tranmere offered little as an attacking force.

Town substitute Danny Schofield could have put the result beyond doubt when he was fed by Andy Holdsworth on 78 minutes, but he was thwarted by Coyne.
