Following the televised game vs Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday the club held their Annual AGM. Secretary Paul Nihill outlined some of the highlights of the year and the success of the 3rd running of The Mike Mac Golf Classic. This was followed by Treasurer Johnny Moroney who said the finances were in a very healthy state and that €2,000 would be going to Cahercalla Hospice following the golf classic. All outgoing officers were elected en block and then it was open to the floor for questions.

The question of new club gear was raised and it was proposed that we check out the cost of polo tops and rain gear with a view to the club subsidizing them. It was proposed that the club's first trip would be to the Middlesboro game on Saturday 23rd Nov as the new Ryanair route from Liverpool would be running on Sunday evenings for the… Read more

Leeds United 1 Sheffield Wednesday 1

Scottish International Ross McCormack once again came to the rescue of United with a stunning individual goal on 58 mins. Ross has scored 31 goals in 112 games for Leeds since joining from Cardiff in August 2010 and has been the subject of three failed bids from Middlesboro in the last three weeks. On this showing it's imperative that we keep him and Brian McDermott is adamant he wants him to stay, let's hope the board feel likewise.

The Owels collected their first point of the season and could have taken all three against Leeds but for two superb saves by Paddy Kenny.
They went ahead on 37 mins when defender Kamil Zayatte's headed home following a corner but then came Ross's moment of magic. Three games down and still undefeated but Brian McDermott will be concerned that we went behind for the third time… Read more

Once again Leeds are live on Sky Sports 1 tomorrow for the local derby vs Sheffield Wednesday KO 12.15pm. After the game the AGM on Ennislusc will take place with the usual election of officers, discussion on the previous years events and of course the proposed trips for this season.

Our esteemed secretary Paul Nihill has indicated that the Yeovil (Nov 2nd) and the Middlesboro (Nov 23rd) games seem to be our best options so we will go with the general conscious of the meeting. Looking forward to seeing all our existing members and intended members tomorrow for what should be a fiery derby game.

Leicester City 0 Leeds United 0

With both teams having won their opening fixtures this game could see the winners going top of the table but alas it was a dour stalemate with Brian McDermott being the happier manager. The 2-1 victory over Watford on the final day of last season is Leeds's only away league win in 2013 and if they are to challenge for promotion this statistic has to improve drastically.

The Foxes finished stronger and striker Chris Wood's shot on 82 mins came back off the Leeds post.Leeds substitute Matt Smith did give the home side a late scare when his far post header was tipped against the side-netting by ex United keeper Kasper Schmeichel. However the stat of only two shots being on target in the whole game ( both to Leicester) tells it's own story of this fixture. Never the less two games down ,undefeated and four… Read more

Leeds United 2 Brighton 1

Leeds £1m summer signing from Crew Alexandra,Luke Murphy grabbed a 93rd minute winner on his debut as United came from behind to beat Brighton & Hove Albion in the opening fixture of 120th season of the Football League. The Whites have won their first league game in all-but two of the last 10 seasons now and have scored on the opening day in the last 13 campaigns. Leo Ulloa put the Seagulls ahead on 13 mins when Tom Lees failed to cut out Andrew Crofts's and he made no mistake from eight yards.

Last season's top scorer Ross McCormack pulled the sides level on 19th mins when he finished neatly after Michael Tonge and Luke Varney combined to set him up.Paddy Kenny was forced into a stunning double save to deny Crofts and Inigo Calderon in the second half before Poleon and Paul Green wasted… Read more

Last Monday evening Ennislusc member Tan Greene from Sixmilebridge had the honour of leading out Leeds United in their friendly with Shelbourne at Tolka Park. His dad Kevin a staunch Leeds fan and Ennislusc member was there also and they met all the players with Irish International Noel Hunt giving Tan his jersey after the game.

This all came about through the links Kevin forged with the Leeds United Academy who held a two day coaching course in Sixmilebridge in July. As a result of Kevin's determination a number of young players will be going to Torp Arch for a coaching course and Colm O Loughlin from Avenue Utd is already at the Academy.

With connections now set in stone with Terry Potter and his coaching team it's hoped in the future that many more young players from Clare and beyond will be give a opportunity to shoe case their skills… Read more

Well it seems like the season has only just ended and more so as we face Brighton tomorrow at Ellland Road having played them our last home game of the season on 27th April which unfortunately ended in a 1-2 defeat. With 31,000 tickets already sold there should be a super atmosphere for Brian McDermott boys and new signings Noel Hunt,Luke Murphy and Matt Smith sure to start.

Unfortunately El-Hadji Diouf and Rudy Austin are both ruled out with suspension while Sam Byram is out with a hip injury. It is vital we get off to a good start and facing a play off team from last season is a tough asked first day out but there are no easy games in The Championship as us long suffering Whites know too well. Marching On Together

Last season may be just over but the fixtures for 2013/14 came out this morning and the buzz plus anticipation for the new season has already begun.

Watford 1 Leeds United 2

New Leeds manager Brian McDermott who was winning promotion with Reading this time last year will be pleased his mid-table Leeds side arrived with the commitment and desire to play their part in the final day permutations.They showed a desire that we haven't seen in quite a while to eek out a unlikely victory at high flying Watford's Vicarage Road and end they table in 13th position while denying The Hornets automatic promotion.

Dominic Poleon put Leeds in front on 42mins but Almen Abdi levelled on the stroke of half time with a brilliant shot from 20 yards.The game then took a dramatic turn when Watford's Troy Deeney t saw red for two bookable offences before news of a late Cardiff equaliser at Hull left the Hornets needing a goal to go up.Leeds finished off their promotion dreams when Aiden White broke clear and fed Ross McCormack… Read more

Leeds United 1 Brighton 2

On a day when three Ennislusc members (Marty Brennan, Bryan Woods and Kevin Greene) were in attendance at Elland Road indiscipline cost the home side dearly. After only 8 mins Randolph Austin was sent off for a foul on Ashley Barnes and two minutes later a weak back pass from Tom Lees allowed Will Buckley the simplest of chances to score.Ross McCormack had Leeds two best chances of the first half with a half volley and a shot just over the crossbar.

On 74 mins Leeds got back in the game from the penalty spot when El-Hadji Diouf was chopped down in the area by Inigo Calderon.He was shown the red card and Diouf dusted himself off to score the resultant penalty.However a red mist descended on him as he ran fifty yards to make a gesture to the Brighton fans and was shown a straight red… Read more

Birmingham City 1 Leeds United 0

Hayden Mullins scored on his 550th league appearance and hand Leeds boss Brian McDermott his first loss in three games. Mullins scored on 71st minute after Paddy Kenny could only parry Nathan Redmond's effort. Up to then Leeds looked the better team but lacked a cutting edge up front and have done so since the departure of Becchio to Norwich in January.

Ross McCormack did hit the woodwork for United with a free kick and Jack Butland brilliantly tipped over Michael Tonge's 20-yard strike. Leeds are mathematically safe and can now plan ahead for the new season.

Leeds United 1 Burnley 0

Jamaican International Rodolph Austin scored his first goal since September as Leeds picked up their second win in four days under new manager Brian McDermott. Austin ran on to El-Hadji Diouf's through ball on 62 mins to shoot home past Burnley keeper Lee Grant.Ross McCormack saw a volley saved on a day where Burnley manager Sean Dyche said "Leeds showed their experience and that's interesting because the same group of players weren't playing like that two weeks ago because I saw them.

A second straight Championship win lifts Leeds up tp 11th in the table with three games to play.Now it's all about finishing with a flourish and kicking on for next season. MOT

Leeds United 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1

Luke Varney scored twice in the second half as United came from behind to beat Yorkshire neighbours Sheffield Wednesday in Brian McDermott's first game in charge and safe guard our Championship survival.The Owels dominated the first half and deservedly led through Jermaine Johnson's lofted finish.

Leeds were much improved in the second period and equalised on 63 mins when Varney's header hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced over the line. Varney then headed in Ross McCormack's cross on 69 mins to complete the turnaround.

After a run of four successive defeats ( our longest losing league run in four years ) the win all but secures Leeds's Championship status for next season as they move on to 55 points.

Well we are a day away from the 3rd Mike Mac Classic and all is in readiness for another great day While the number of teams are down on last year which is to be expected in the present climate the committee is more than happy with our present number of 26 teams.Hopefully the man above will smile on us with a fine day though I'm sure Mac will have a quite word in his ear for us. This year all the proceeds from the Golf Classic are going to Cahercalla Hospice which is a fantastic facility and one that is dear to all our hearts.

The course is in pristine condition thanks to the efforts of green keepers Kevin Brown and David Hoey so scoring should be above average. Guest of honour John Giles will be arriving at the course at 12.30pm and he tees off at 2.10pm with… Read more

Charlton Athletic 2 Leeds United 1

Substitute Jonathan Obika 93rd min injury time goal earned The Addicks all three points against manager less Leeds at The Valley.Charlton have now extended their unbeaten run against Leeds to five games. After a goal less first half Johnnie Jackson put Charlton in front with a powerful strike two minutes into the second half.Steve Morison hit the post for Leeds and ex Charlton striker Luke Varney looked to have earned a point for the visitors with his 82nd-minute strike until Obika headed in a late winner.

We are now five points off the relegation places with five games remaining and need at least one victory to insure Championship survival. Let's hope we can get those points next Saturday away to our Yorkshire neighbours Sheffield Wednesday and put all our minds at easy !

Leeds United 1 Derby County 2

Jake Buxton's 88 min header earned Derby's ninth successive win against Leeds and sent manager Nigel Clough home harboring slim hopes of a play off spot.Following the game Neil Warnock called time on his time at Elland Road with Reserve Team Manager Neil Redfearn taking over for the final six games. Warnocks record at Elland Road reads Played 63, Won 23, Drew 15, Lost 25. When the Dubai-based private equity group GFH Capital took over Leeds in November he expected funding in the January transfer window but instead we lost our best player Lucciano Becchio to Norwich and no quality was added for a promotion push.

Many names have been banded around for the vacent post including former Reading boss Brian McDermott, Brighton manager and former Leeds assistant Gus Poyet and ex-Bolton boss Owen Coyle. At least with a intern manager it will give the club… Read more

Ipswich Town 3 Leeds United 0

Leeds United manager Neil Warnock has criticised defender Tom Lees for his "stupid" dismissal in the 3-0 defeat at Portman Road. In his after match press conference he said "We've got one lad who's let everyone down. He's let me down, the team down and the fans who travelled here," said Warnock. "It was one stupid moment. I don't know what else I can say, other than it was a ridiculous tackle." This all but means that the remaining seven fixtures are all but academic in our efforts for a play off spot bar a miracle.

David McGoldrick scored goals either side of half-time to help Ipswich boost their survival prospects with a comfortable victory over 10-man Leeds. United started well but when Tom Lees was sent off for a high tackle on Jay Tabb the pendulum swung in favour of The Tractor Boys and they… Read more

Leeds United 1 Huddersfield Town 2

Our goose is cooked after this terrible home defeat and Neil Warnock will be on his way out of Elland Road on his own admission when it mathematically impossible to get a top six finish. Warnock estimated that we needed at least six wins from our remaining nine fixtures before today's game so the hunt will be on for his successor sooner rather than later.Unfortunately we'll be left with some of his poor signings and who ever succeeds him will have some job on their hands to revive our fortunes.

Ex Everton striker James Vaughan grabbed a valuable late winner on 86 mins for Huddersfield in their race for Championship survival in a no holds barred Yorkshire derby. Neil Danns put The Terriers ahead on 54 mins when he volleyed home Vaughan's flick-on but six minutes later substitute Aidy White equalised with a header when… Read more
