Cardiff City 3 Leeds United 1

Leeds announced Neil Redfearn's appointment as their new manager less than 90 minutes before kick-off but there was no silver lining for The Whites as they remain winless in seven games. There were only a few half-chances for either team in a dour and drab first half and in truth Leeds probably shaded it in the possession stats.

Cardiff stareted the second half in determined fashion and their two centre-backs combined for the opening goal on 61 minutes when Sean Morrison heading across goal for Ecuele Manga to nod in his first goal for Cardiff.The Bluebirds doubled their lead six minutes later as Macheda's shot took a huge deflection off Jason Pearce. Alex Mowatt scored a brilliant individual goal on 77 minutes to breath some life into United .

However Leeds hopes of a comeback were undermined by their own farcical defending as Silvestri and Giuseppe… Read more

Leeds United 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 2

We are slowly becoming the biggest joke in football with Darko Milanic being sacked after 32 days in charge,breaking our previous record of 44 days which was held by legendary managers Brian Clough and Jock Stein.Since 1986 Leeds have had 24 managers which is the same amount Manchester United have had in their entire history which says it all. While Darko was in charge for 6 games (Appointed 23rd Sept, 2 draws and 4 losses) he had a guillotine hanging over his head ever since he took the post after leaving Sturm Graz.

Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has a reputation for sacking managers having sacked 36 in 22 years in his time with Cagliari. Even the great John Giles has gone on record as stating that he should get out of the club and leave it for an owner who could work for best interest… Read more

Norwich City 1 Leeds United 1

Despite a possession stat of 38 per cent Leeds managed to steal a point at Carrow Road and Milanic is still looking for his first win as Boss in his 5th game in the hot seat. How long more will Cellinio's patience last I wonder give his reputation foe sacking managers. Add to that a claim by Norwich striker Cameron Jerome that he was racially abused by Leeds defender Giuseppe Bellusci just adds to the woes of the club. With total uncertainty with the owners position over tax problems in his native Italy is it any wonder Leeds fans are wondering when will this long running saga ever end.

The Canaries had the better of the first half and were rewarded on 59 minutes when Russell Martin headed in from a corner. Thankfully the Leeds heads did not drop and four minutes later were… Read more

Rotherham 2 Leeds United 1

Another televised match and another defeat but at least we got to celebrate our club member Enda Howard's 40th in style. Defeat never matter to Ennislusc when we hit the town and true to form we had a mighty sing song and even Enda's friends and relations were in awe of the comradeship in our club.

Leeds dominated the first possession and opening the scoring on 30 minutes when Antenucci finished brilliantly after being played in on goal by Souleymane Doukara. However the second half was an all together different game and in truth The Millers deserved their win with goals on 58 and 65 minutes. It was only Rotherham's second league win over their more Leeds since 1962 and heaps more pressure on manager Darko Milanic in only his fourth game in the dugout.

Leeds United 0 Reading 0

Ennislusc Secretary Paul ( Nuggy) Nihill made a five hour return journey to see his beloved Whites welcome their new manager Darko Milanic to Elland Road but unfortunately he didn't get to see a goal.Paul who is over on business,drove up to the game and on the positive side he saw a much improved performance from their dire performance on Saturday.

The Royals were the better side for much of the game and Nick Blackman went close when his low shot was pushed away by goalkeeper Marco Silvestri. United's best chance was a free-kick from defender Giuseppe Bellusci that went just over the bar. Silvestri who was the busier of the two keepers blocked Glenn Murray's header before Leeds striker Billy Sharp's low drive was held by Adam Federici. Unfortunately Billy Sharp's effort with five minutes remaining was the home side's only shot on target out… Read more

Brentford 2 Leeds United 0

Leeds United started life under new boss Darko Milanic with a disappointing defeat at Griffin Park where the home side had 24 shots on goal to United 13.They even had the luxury of missing a first half penalty when James Tarkowski hammered a first-half penalty over the crossbar after Jason Pearce floored Andre Gray in the area. In first half injury time Jota gave the Bees a deserved lead and ex United midfielder Jonathan Douglas played a big part in the build up.

Brentford sealed the win on 77 minutes when McCormack goal bound shot was deflected wrong-footed Silvestri but in fairness it was no more than the home side deserve.Leeds only threat on goal was a Pearce header that was well saved by Bees keeper David Button. In four games under Neil Readfearn Leeds won three and drew one but Milanic has a long… Read more

Leeds United 3 Huddersfield Town

Leeds's caretaker boss Neil Redfearn saw them continued their impressive form as they cruised past The Terriers to earn a third win in four games under his reign. United are expected to appoint Darko Milanic the ex Sturm Graz manager as their new boss led 2-0 at the break through Rudy Austin's strike on 19 minutes and Mirco Antenucci's close-range shot on stroke of half time.

Souleymane Doukara made it three on 69 minutes from an Austin pass and Leeds were in cruise control. United defender Gaetano Berardi saw red for a second yellow card with 17 minutes remaining but Leeds help firm for a hugely satisfying victory.

Bournmouth 1 Leeds United 3

Earlier this year, the 25th March to be precise we were 4-0 after 51 minutes away to Bournmouth and after going a goal down after six minutes it looked like being deja vu all over again. Guiseppe Bellusci and Mirco Antenucci inspired Leeds to a second-half fightback as they moved above Bournemouth in the table. Andrew Surman curled the home side ahead but despite a host of chances they could not increase their lead.

Souleymane Doukara equalised before Bellusci sent a stunning long range free-kick into the top corner. Antenucci wrapped it up with a calm finish as caretaker boss Neil Redfearn remained unbeaten.

Birmingham City 1 Leeds United 1

Alex Mowatt's 76 minute equaliser rescued a point for managerless United at St Andrews to maintain their unbeaten start under caretaker boss Neil Redfearn. The Blues led on 37 minutes when Wes Thomas fired home an angled left-foot shot for the live game on Sky. Despite all our off-field problems,United's fans remain staunchly loyal which was borne out by the 2,654 travelling supporters in an attendance of 15,266. Mowatt levelled 14 minutes from time when he score with a low left-foot shot and gave the United supporters both at the game and watching on TV some relief given our position in The Championship.

Leeds United 1 Bolton Wanderers 0

Caretaker Manager Neil Redfearn now in his third spell in that role at Leeds having previously stepped in after the departures of Simon Grayson and Neil Warnock must have been delighted with his charges. Despite having less possession and a stat of shots on target of 9-2 to Bolton Leeds came away wth their second home victory and move to 18th in the Championship table,

Leeds parted company with head coach Dave Hockaday on Thursday after just six games in charge but it came as know surprise Leeds supporters. Former Liverpool player and Bolton loanee Stephen Warnock gave United the lead on 17th miunutes when his low effort beat visiting keeper Adam Bogdan. Efforts by Joe Mason and Jay Spearing for Bolton went close and in injury time ex Leeds star Jermaine Beckford head straigh at the keeper when he should have done better.

Watford 4 Leeds United 1

Just when you think that things could not get any worse we get hammered at Vicarage Road,have two players sent off and then our owner threatens to sack our manager but does a U turn after sleeping on it. Being a Leeds supporters is nothing if not a roller coaster and one has to be a true White to stick with them theses days.

Watford took the lead on 20th minutes through Italian U21 International Fernando Forestieri who scored at the second attempt after Marco Silvestri saved his initial effort. Then Leeds grabbed a fortuitous equaliser on 32 minutes through an own goal which on the balance of place wasn't deserved. The turning point of the game came on 57 mins when Leeds debutant Giuseppe Bellusci took down Forestieri in the area and Troy Deeney sent Silvestri the wrong way from the spot.

After that… Read more

It's that time of the year once again with the AGM of Ennislusc on Wednesday 27th August in Moroney's Bar Market Street. This is in conjunction with the Capital One Cup where Leeds are away to Yorkshire rivals Bradford City which is live on Sky Sports KO 7.45pm. On the agenda will be election of officers including Club President and discussions on the proposed club trip before Christmas. Look forward to seeing you all there. Marching On Together

Leeds United 0 Brighton 2

Brighton scored their first goals and first points of the season of the season through winger Joao Teixeira and Kazenga LuaLua. The result gave former Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia his first league win as Brighton manager and consigned David Hockaday's side to the second defeat in three league games. More worry to home fans is the fact we have only score one goal in 270 plus minutes of football and the goal we scored had a large element of luck.

Brighton went in front on 6 minutes with on-loan Liverpool striker Teixeira who skipped down the right wing and shot low into the corner.This was a disaster of a goal to give away so early and put Leeds on the back foot. Ex Newcastle United striker LuaLua then made sure of victory at Elland Road with six minutes to go when he drove home a 20-yard… Read more

Leeds United 1 Middlesbrough 0

Ennislusc were well represented at Elland Road for the first home game of The Championship with Paul ( Nuggy) Nihill, Bryan Woods, Dom O Rourke, Richie Lynch, Marty Brennan, James and Kevin Barry and John Galvin all in attendance and seeing a hard earned if fortunate victory. It was welcome relief for new Leeds manager Dave Hockaday after Billy Sharp's winner on 88 minutes following Boro keeper Mejias Osorio fumbling a Michael Tonge shot from outside the box.

Sharp was making his debut for United and had missed a promising chance minutes earlier when he headed wide from eight yards. Just before half time Boro thought they had scored through winger Albert Adomah's bicycle kick only to have the effort disallowed. Leeds full back Stephen Warnock was stooping to head the ball and Premiership referee Stuart Attwell adjudged that it was dangerous play and awarded Leeds a… Read more

Millwall 2 Leeds United 0

Leeds had won 11 of their previous 14 opening-day fixtures but they made a poor start to the 2014-15 campaign at The New Den who finished 19th last season took the lead in the eighth minute following terrible defending. A short corner was worked back to Lee Martin who crossed from the right to find full back Beevers sliding in to hammer home.

Leeds looked poor but came close to levelling within seconds of the restart when Republic Of Ireland goalkeeper David Forde's fumble gave the ball to Ajose who played the ball to Noel Hunt but Alan Dunne cleared the ball away from the empty net. The nail in the Leeds coffin came with two minutes remaining when The Lions were awarded a spot-kick and Williams to fire an accurate shot beyond Silvestri from 12 yards.

So bad day at the office for Dave Hockaday and not… Read more

Another season is about to kick off and one think for sure is that us Leeds fans are in for another roller coaster year. With our new owner Massimo Cellino appointing a new manager in David Hockaday ex Forest Green ( who I hear you say), demanding that all the players live in Leeds, sells our top scorer Ross McCormack (whether we like it or not one couldn't turn down £11M, record for a Championship player) and wants to buy back Elland Road we are entitled to be somewhat skeptical. Our summer singings including two goalkeepers do not inspire confidence and are as follows:Nicky Ajose (Peterborough United),Gaetano Berardi (Sampdoria),Tommaso Bianch (Sassuolo),Souleymane Doukar,(Catania),Marco Silvestr (Chievo)and Stuart Taylor (Reading).

While it is noble of Massimo to try and buy back the ground results on the field are what counts and we will have some idea by the end of August were this ship is… Read more

It was with shock we learned on Saturday 26th July that our colleague and staunch Leeds supporter Alan Murphy had suffer a torn achilles tendon in a charity game. In actual fact Alan only got the call on Friday night as numbers were short and true to form he was not found wanting when the call came.

Alan is now over his operation but faces a long rehabilitation and all his friends at Ennislusc wish him a speedy recovery.

Leeds United 1 Derby County 1

On a day when 54 children and adults from Sixmilebridge made the journey to Elland Road they were rewarded with a draw and a near 30,000 attendance (29,724). The Rams had already qualified for the play offs and have set a Championship record with 83 goals before Saturday and a club records points score of 85 so they were a formidable outfit to end United's season on.

Simon Dawkins gave the visitors a sixth-minute lead finishing left-footed past England goalkeeper Jack Butland. However five minutes after half-time Leeds equalised when Matt Smith lobbed Lee Grant following good work from Danny Pugh and Ross McCormack. There after Ross who who the Players Player and Fans Player of the Year had two chances to win it but his efforts went narrowly wide.

So a season that started with so much promise end with us having a new owner, sacking… Read more

The weather may not have being kind on Saturday last for the 4th Annual Mike Mac Golf Classic run by the Ennis Leeds United Supporters Club but it did not deter 18 teams from taking part and raising much needed funds for The Clare Crusaders and Cahercalla Hospice. Unfortunately this year the legendary John Giles couldn't join us as he had a prior engagement in Leeds but will join us in late July for a social round of golf in Ennis GC. He did however send his good wishes on the day via satellite link to Ennislusc member Alan Murphy who was celebrating his 50th birthday as in previous years Alan and his son Tadgh had caddied for John.

Considering the recent storms last February the course was in immaculate condition and our heartfelt thanks goes to green keepers Kevin Browne, David Hoey and their team. We cannot forget all our… Read more

Well it's here once again and hard to believe that a year has passed since the last Mike Mac Classic. We are two weeks later than usual and as of writing we have 18 teams declared which is fantastic. It is proposed to give the monies collected this year to The Clare Crusaders and Cahercalla Hospice both worthy causes and dear to our hearts. This year unfortunately John Giles can't make it as he has a prior engagement in Leeds but the good news is he will coming down in the summer for a days golf in Ennis and a night on the town with Ennislusc members.

Looking forward to seeing the Leeds flags flying high in Ennis Golf Club tomorrow and here's hoping the sun shines for all the golfers.
