Port Vale's relegation to League Two was finally confirmed as their three-game winning streak was ended by a 0-0 draw at home to Huddersfield.Vale played some attractive football in the first half, but struggled to create any clear openings against a strong Town defence led by veteran Robert Page.

And it was another old stager who was the most effective forward for the visitors as 34-year-old Andy Booth gave the home rearguard plenty to think about.

Booth came close to breaking the deadlock on the half-hour mark when his header from Andy Holdsworth's cross was blocked on the line by Simon Richman.

And Huddersfield started brightly in the second half and James Berrett and Holdsworth threatened before the visitors had the ball in the net in the 58th minute when Nathan Clarke headed Holdsworth's corner towards goal, but Chris Brandon was adjudged to have strayed offside before he applied the finishing touch from point-blank range.

Huddersfield also created further chances with Booth and Holdsworth both shooting wildly off target when well placed.
