After nearly two years of heartbreak where our good colleague and Leeds fanatic Alan Murphy tore his Achilles tendon in a charity soccer match in the Fairgreen and as a result lost his job things have taken a turn for the better. On Monday next Alan will start a new job with the HSE in St Josephs Hospital Ennis and all his friends in Ennislusc would like to wish him well in his new role. The patients will benefit hugely from Alan's sense of humour and kindness and for sure they will all know about Leeds United. Good Luck from all at Ennislusc , Alan.

Huddersfield Town 0 Leeds United 3

One can't always read into stats and in this case where The Terriers had sixty three per cent possession and nineteen shots on goal this was certainly true as Leeds ran out comfortable winners in this Yorkshire derby.

It is now back-to-back wins in the Championship for Leeds and a great start to life as manager for Steve Evans five games in charge. After a dire first-half Leeds took the lead in stoppage when Mirco Antenucci poked United in front from six yards. The ball was hardly kicked off when Leeds doubled their lead in the sixth minute of injury time when Chris Wood slotted home. The reason for all the stoppage time was due to a clash of heads between Liam Cooper and Scott Wootton with Cooper being stretchered off to hospital.

For the second time in five days Alex Mowatt struck a stunning long-range… Read more

Today the legend John Giles celebrates his 75th birthday and how we would love to have his likes still playing at Elland Road. As we all know John has been very loyal to our club coming down to the Mike Mac Golf Classic on three consecutive years and making many friends in the process. The club sent him a text and card from all the members to celebrate this milestone and typical of the man he rang today to pass on his thanks to everyone for their good wishes. Enjoy the day John and we hope to see you down in Ennis in the New Year. Marching On Together

Leeds United 0 Blackburn Rovers 2

Just when the loyal Leeds faithful thought it couldn't get any worse they were treated to what can only be described as the most inept display ever from a home team on the hallow field of Elland Road. New manager Steve Evans was expecting to over see a first home win since last March,a run of 11 home league games without a win but he was sadly mistaken.

Going a goal behind after 17 seconds left the home crowd in shock but five minutes later they were two behind and the game was a but over.Early goals from Craig Conway and Jordan Rhodes helped Blackburn beat fellow strugglers Leeds at Elland Road.

Conway put Blackburn in front after 17 seconds, firing Chris Taylor's cross into the bottom corner after being left unmarked at the back post.Jordan Rhodes doubled the lead on six minutes as he… Read more

Bolton Wanderers 1 Leeds United 1

Mirco Antenucci's penalty on 71 minutes helped Leeds earn a draw at 10-man Bolton and left Steve Evans frustrated at not earning the three points. Shola Ameobi who only signed on loan with Bolton on Friday gave the Trotters the lead as he volleyed in Jose Casado's corner on 32 minutes. Earlier Tom Adeyemi hit the post for Leeds but it was Bolton who dominated in a poor first half.

Neil Lennon's side who are routed to the bottom of the table were punished after Prince Gouano was shown red for fouling Antenucci in the box and he scored the resultant spot kick. Despite dominating the remaining twenty minutes Leeds failed to break down a stubborn Bolton defence. Along with waiting for his first win Steve Evans is also looking for his sides first goal from open play since he took over as both Leeds… Read more

Fulham 1 Leeds United 1

Steve Evans began his managerial reign at Leeds United with a well deserved draw as Chris Wood's second-half penalty secured a point at Craven Cottage. Leeds sixth manager in 18 months can feel well disappointed as United dominated the game but found Fulham's keeper Joe Lewis in tremendous form gaining him the Man Of Match Award.

Moussa Dembele gave Fulham the lead on 23 minutes against the run of play with a superb solo effort. However he became the villain on 64 minutes when he handled in the area following a corner and Chris Wood's scored from the spot. Indeed Lewis got his hand to the kick and can feel very unlucky not to have kept it out.

At least it stopped the rot after three successive defeats and from the fans point of view Evans played a very positive 4-4-2 formation with Woods and… Read more

And so the merry go round starts once again at Leeds and we are the laughing stock of the football league once again. Owner Massimo Cellino seeks his sixth manager since he took over in April last year following the departure of Brian McDermott, Dave Hockaday, Darko Milanic and Neil Redfearn. Rosler was relieved of his duties today after recording just two wins in 11 league matches since his appointment in the summer.

Scotsman Steve Evans is the favourite to take charge as he took training at Torp Arch this morning. He is the ex Rotherham boss who appeared at Elland Road for the last game of the season in a sombrero, shorts and flip flops following a bet he made once his team avoided relegation to League 1.He is an outspoken boss who will need all his guile if he's to have any say with Cellinio. I don't think you… Read more

Leeds United 1 Brighton 2

Uwe Rosler's men have now won just one of their last six matches and are winless in their last 11 home games which is a new club record. Suffice to say the knives will be out for Rosler after this disappointing performance.

Leeds started very well before Beram Kayal played March through on goal and the 21-year-old kept his composure to score his first of the season inside the first 15 minutes. The Whites responded well and got a deserved equaliser in the 23rd minute when Cooper flicked Alex Mowatt's free-kick beyond Seagulls keeper David Stockdale.

Brighton dominated on the possession stakes and with 14 shots on target to Leeds 6 they deservedly got the winner on 89 mins. Substitute Bobby Zamora's goal helped them extend their lead at the top to four points and heap more misery on an already under pressure Rosler.

It's all of 25 years since Eire Og hurlers brought the Canon Hamilton back to the town and on Sunday next in Cusack Park the team will be honoured at half time in the senior final.On that infamous day The Townies beat The Mills 1-5 to 1-03 in what in truth was a dire game. If my memory serves me well The Mills missed a lot of scores in the first half with their free taker Tim Canny in particular being off target.The turning point was Pete Barry's goal into the Aldi end six minutes into the second half which drove The Townies on to their six and last county title. One of the stars of the team was 17 year old Tomas Corbett who went on to captain St Flannan's to Harty and Croke Cup title the following year.

Leeds United 0 Birmingham City 2

Uwe Rosler could not hide his disappointment after another abject performance at Elland Road which leaves him still seeking his first home win in the Championship. Leeds have now not won at home in the league in seven months which is a damning statistic.

The Blues took the lead on 31 minutes when Clayton Donaldson deflected Stephen Gleeson's ball to Demarai Gray who gave Silvestri no chance with a rocket of a shot from ten yards.It was no more than Birmingham deserved as they dominated a poor first half. However Leeds could have equalised through Northern Ireland winger Stuart Dallas who's curling effort was palmed away by Blues keeper Tomasz Kuszczak.

The game was long over before Jacques Maghoma put the icing on the cake for the Blues with a goal in the first minute of injury time. The early season promise from Leeds has long… Read more

Middlesbrough 3 Leeds United 0

Without doubt this was a huge reality check for Rosler and his team as the found out just how far short they are as Championship contenders. Boro simply over ran them in every department and it's easy to see why they are favorites for promotion. After only two minutes David Nugent fired Boro in front from close range for his third goal in four games.Then on thirty two minutes calamitous defending by Leeds defender Giuseppe Bellusci who produced a diving header to divert George Friend's cross into his own net.

Mirco Antenucci who was in for the injured Chris Woods saw an effort ruled out harshly for offside which would have given Leeds a glimmer of hope. Before that Alex Mowatt saw a free-kick tipped over the bar but that was as good as it got for The Whites. Boro sealed all three points on eighty… Read more

MK Dons 1 Leeds United 2

Ennislusc stalwart and recently married James Barry spent an anxious afternoon at Stadium.mk as his beloved Whites endured eight anxious minutes of injury time before finally claiming the points. As James says We don't do easy and so right he is but at this stage it's par for the course as a Leeds supporter.

The Dons dominated the opening half an hour with Rob Hall, Carl Baker and Josh Murphy all shooting wide and totally against the run of play United took the lead. Baker brought down Charlie Taylor on 31 minutes for a stone wall penalth and up stepped Chris Wood to send David Martin the wrong way for his fourth goal in six games. Then two minutes before half time Taylor made it 2-0 when his left foot rocked fro just inside the box nestled in the bottom corner.

On 71 minutes Simon Church… Read more

Leeds United 0 Ipswich Town 1

Marco Silvestri gifted Mike McCarty's men a victory when he completely missed a corner he came to punch and New Zealand International defender Tommy Smith gratefully accepted the gift to head home. Uwe Rosler's team had drawn five of their opening six Championship matches but lost to promotion hopefuls Ipswich at Elland Road for the first time since 2005.

It was another poor performance from Leeds following Saturday's draw with Brentford and the wheels seem to be coming off the wagon earlier than we anticipated. On 82 minutes Leeds felt aggrieved when the referee booked Sam Byram for a dive when he went down in the area under pressure from Jonas Knudsen.TV replays show Sam had a good claim for a spot kick but in truth it would have only glossed over another inept performance. Leeds are now 14th in the Championship table after a very… Read more

Leeds United 1 Brentford 1

Mirco Antenucci's second-half strike on 76 minutes saw Uwe Rosler's Leeds rescue a point against his old club Brentford. The Bees deservedly took the lead on 29 minutes when Marco Djuricin (loan signing from Red Bull Salsburg) found the net with a curling strike from 12 yards. Early in the second half the Austria international almost doubled his tally hitting the post with a sublime effort

It was now time for a lack luster Leeds to wake up and Chris Wood saw his shot hit the woodwork.
Just when it looked like it might turn out to be a first defeat of the season for the Leeds, Brentford's substitute Ryan Woods was dispossessed by Antenucci (who had come on at half-time) fired home the equaliser with his left foot from 15 yards. It was no more than Leeds deserved as they were the dominant team… Read more

On Friday next at 2pm in St John The Baptist Church, Cashel Ennislusc member James Barry will marry the lovely Shaunagh Walshe from Waterford who is also a staunch Leeds United fan. The Barry's are synonymous with Ennislusc as James's parents Kevin ( Past President of Ennislusc) and Noelette are members of the club since its formation. Indeed James and Shaunagh have been on club trips to Elland Road and have been an item since 2006.

If James and Shaunagh can survive the trials and tribulations of their beloved Whites since the met nine years ago with relegations,promotions and liquidations the order of the day they'll find marriage a dawdle. All their friends at Ennislusc wish them a fantastic wedding day and long life and happiness into the future. Marching On Together will certainly get an airing in Dundrum House Hotel at some stage on Friday night of that there… Read more

Derby County 1 Leeds United 2

United sealed their first victory in 13 years at Pride Park with a contender for goal of the season from New Zealand International Chris Woods.His twenty yard strike on 88 minutes left Carson stranded in the Derby goal and gave Leeds their first victory in five games and his third in successive games.Leeds took the lead on 43 minutes when Stuart Dallas crossed and Adeyemi headed powerfully to the net from eight yards. This was well deserved as Leeds had dominated the first half with The Rams having not one single shot on goal.

The second have had hardly begun when Chris Martin's low shot had brought Derby level after he turned Liam Cooper rather easily. However it was England Under-19 international Lewis Cook, who was returning from suspension having been given a red card vs Doncaster Rover in the Capital Cup that was the… Read more

Leeds United 1 Sheffield Wednesday 1

New Zealand International Chris Wood scored a second-half equaliser as Leeds United were held to a fourth successive Championship draw by Yorkshire neighbours Sheffield Wednesday. Leeds fell behind on 37 minutes to a wonder strike from
Marco Matias. Picking up the ball on the right wing he flicked it over Liam Cooper's head with his right foot then hitting a stunning volley with his left from the corner of the box.Keeper Silvestri didn't flinch a muscle as the ball hit the crossbar and nestled in the net, truly a goal of the season candidate.

Leeds were level on 61 minutes when Wood toe poked a Stuart Dallas cross in from close range.It was no more than United deserved as the dominated possession but once again looked toothless up front. Twenty shots on goal with only three on target tells its own story. Leeds have now… Read more

Bristol City 2 Leeds United 2

Leading two nil on 88 minutes the three points looked secure and on their way to Elland Road along with a first win for the season but alas there was a huge sting in the tail for Leeds. When Bristol scored on 89 minutes it looked like a consolation goal but six minutes of injury time was indicated and in the fifth minute of that disaster struck for Uwe Rosler's men.

Leeds took the lead from Mirco Antenucci's penalty on 39 minutes when he was taken down by keeper Hamer. He took the spot kick himself and sent the keeper the wrong way giving United a huge half time boast.Their second came when new signing Chris Wood cut inside and netted with a low finish on 52 minutes.

Kieran Agard pulled one back for Bristol with a left with a shot off the post and… Read more

Reading 0 Leeds United 0

In a poor game with little to cheer about Leeds winger Stuart Dallas came close to opening the scoring but his 20-yard effort went narrowly wide. This was the only highlight of a forgetful first forty five minutes. In the 21st minute of the match all of the ground stood to applaud Royals Academy manager and ex Irish International Eamonn Dolan who is undergoing a course of chemotherapy.

United's New Zealand international Chris Wood came close late on as his turn and volley hit the roof of the net before in injury-time Jordan Obita's free-kick was well kept out by Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri. Two games and two points but we are still lacking a cutting edge up front. With over 4,000 travelling Leeds fans in attendance they will expect a lot more in the coming games but at least we are looking solid at the… Read more

At our AGM last night our outstanding secretary Paul Nuggy Nihill has stepped down from the position after being in situ since the formation of the club. Words cannot describe the contribution of Paul to the club over the years and he was the recipient of a standing ovation from all the members. Into the hot seat comes Mike Jones who is responsible for the Ennislusc Facebook page and we wish him well in his new role.

Also elected on the night was new Club President Tommy Kelly with Liam Jones elected as Vice President. Ruan native Tommy is one of the club stalwarts and was a very popular choice with the members. All the other officers were reelected and Cyril Slim Corry was an able MC on the night.
