Late Goal Rocks United

Luton Town 1 Leeds United 1

As so often has been the case this season Leeds have been the ones to score late goals. Eleven times they have score after the 85th minute but on this occassion the tables were turned. Indeed it was as ex United man Matthew Spring who was at the heart of everything good that Luton produced and it was fitting that he started the move that set up the equalizer for Sam Parker. This will be a bitter result for Wise and co to take as a victory would have put them up to second place in the table behind runaway leaders Swansea City.

United went ahead in the 27th minute after Peter Sweeney whipped in a free-kick and Paul Huntington managed to get his head to it to put it in the back of the net. Then just when it looked as though Leeds had… Read more

Another Home Defeat

Leeds United 0 Doncaster Rovers 1

In a local derby that us Leeds supporters are not yet accustomed to playing, our boys were well below form and were beaten by the better team on the day. Neil Sullivan who Dennis Wise deemed surplas to requirements at Elland Road came back to haunt Leeds making one superb save from a Beckford volley with five minutes remaining.

Wise had said in his press conference on Friday that Doncaster had never before played in front of 30,000 plus supporters and this could have a bearing on their performance. How wrong he was as it was Leeds who looked like the away side and only once threatened the Doncaster goal over the 90 minutes. Brian Stock proved to be the hero for the visitors with the winner on 21 minutes following a free kick conceded by Paul Huntington on the edge of the area to… Read more

Moving On Up

Crewe 0 Leeds United 1

With new signings Peter Sweeney and Darren Kenton making their debuts for Leeds at the Alexandrea Stadium in front of the Sky cameras it was a relieved Dennis Wise that saw his men hold out for a hard fought victory. Jermaine Beckfords brilliant header on 36 minutes was enough to give Leeds their 18th win of the season that sees us sit a point behind second placed Nottingham Forest but having played two games more. Our clash with Forest at Elland Road on Tuesday 12th February could be the game of the season.

Leeds started brightly as Andy Hughes headed against the crossbar on 6 minutes and Tore Andre Flo blazed over from close range following good work from Beckford. Derby manager Paul Jewell who was in the crowd is though to be interested in Beckford and on this display it's no wonder. However it's imperative that… Read more

Kilkenny Stars For New Look Leeds

Leeds United 3 Northampton Town 0

New signing Neil Kilkenny who signed on Thursday from Birmingham City was the star of the show at Elland Road today and had a hand in two of the goals. Tore Andre Flo started his first game of the season up front with Paul Huntington starting at the back alongside Ben Parker in a new back four set up. Ian Westlake also started up front in place of Seb Carole.

This was a game Leeds dominated from start to finish in front of an attendance of 24,472. However the opening goal did'nt arrive until the 43rd min when Frazier Richardson cut in from the right and gave Bunn no chance with a screamer from 20 yards. At half time Wise replaced Westlake with Carole and on 52 mins Marques got his second goal of the season and Leeds second of the game following a Kilkenny corner… Read more

One Out Of Nine

Leeds United 1 Oldham Athletic 3

What a poor Christmas it has been for Dennis Wise and his boys, gaining only one point out of a possible nine and suffering their first home defeat of the season in the league. To compound matters midfielder Shaun Derry who is on loan to Crystal Palace until 18th January refused to cut short his loan period and return to the club. This left Wise fuming as both Alan Thompson and Kishishev who were both nursing injuries but had to line out vs Oldham as he was short of cover in the midfield area. It remains to be seen what action the club will take as Derry still has 18 months left on his contract at present and Leeds are also paying part of his wages while he plays for Palace.

A great display in the opening 45 minutes gave Oldham victory over Leeds at… Read more

Welsh Disaster

Swansea City 3 Leeds United 2

This was the first meeting between the sides since 1984 and Leeds marked to occassion by making a presentation to Mrs Glenda Charles wife of the late great John Charles before the game. Oh how Leeds wished they had a man of his stature and class in their ranks at this present time. It was yet another full house at the Liberty Stadium for the visit of Leeds and Swansea showed on 9 mins why they are top of the league when Andy Robinson converted a free from the edge of the box.

The lead lasted all of 3 mins when Beckford latched onto a long ball out of defence and gave De Vries no chance from the tightest of angles. However on 23 mins Swansea regained the lead when captain Garry Monks headed home a Paul Anderson corner. The game turned on it's head in… Read more

Leeds on Sky

At last we are back on Sky Sports but once again we are not playing at Elland Road. On Monday 12th January we are away to Crew Alexandrea and on 28th January we are away to Southend United with both games on Sky Sports 1. Kick off is 7.45pm and once again all you Leeds supporters and friends will be welcome to join us in Moroneys in The Market for both games. If nothing else it will be a nice way to start 2008 and a win or two would be the icing on the cake. Marching On Together ..........

Another Late Goal

Hartlepool United 1 Leeds United 1

Jermaine Beckford struck an injury-time equaliser as Leeds claimed a late 1-1 draw at Hartlepool. The home side dominated the opening exchanges at Victoria Park and took a deserved lead in the 21st minute. Former Whites full-back Robbie Elliott's free-kick was planted home at the far post by defender Michael Nelson.

The home side could have put the game beyond doubt early in the second half when Ian Moore another ex Leeds player was clean through but Kasper Ankergren made a fine save. The late-goal specialists then lived up to their name when Beckford tucked home past Jan Budtz for a share of the spoils and put Leeds top of the table even if for only a few hours.

Third For Christmas

Leeds United 1 Bristol Rovers 0

Leeds completed the double over Rovers this season courtesy of a 84 min og from Steve Elliott and moved to third in the table despite not being at their best. Wise made three changes from the Walsall game with Alan Thompson, Tresor Kandol and Jonny Hewson coming in for the injured Jonathan Douglas with Leon Constantine and Radostin Kishishev dropping to the bench.

In a game of few chances the goal came as so often is the case this season with Leeds in the closing minutes. A cross from Alan Thompson was flicked on by Seb Carole and with Jonny Hewson ready to pounce the ball took a deflection off defender Elliott and end up in the net much to the relief of the home crowd in an attendance of 27,863.

This was the ideal start to the festive campaign for Wise and he'll be hoping to… Read more

Out Of Jail Once Again

Walsall 1 Leeds United 1

For the fifth time this season Leeds left it until injury time to conjure up a goal. On this occassion it came in the 92 minute from a Alan Thompson free kick although Ian Westlake is claiming that he got the final touch. Not that this will worry Denis Wise as his side battled all day against a resolute Walsall team who indeed will consider themselves unlucky not to come away with all three points. Indeed Tommy Mooney the ex Birmingham City striker had an effort ruled out for offside in the first half but he made amends in the 75 min following a goal mouth scramble after Walsall had been awarded a corner.

This sparked Wise into making a double substitution with Thompson and Hewson coming on for Kishishev and Prutton. And it was this change that led to Leeds getting a grip in midfield and… Read more

Derby Delight

Leeds United 4 Huddesfield Town 0

In front of their biggest crowd of the season and the biggest in the Division 1 since 1979, Leeds recorded an emphatic victory over local rivals The Trotters from Huddesfield.Two wins in five days and no goals conceded is a great start to the December programme of games for Dennis Wises and the boys.

Jonathon Douglas opened the scoring for Leeds in the 24th minute and Jermaine Beckford then celebrated his birthday in style with two goals, netting after 49 and 69 minutes. Tore Andre Flo who came off the bench on 83 mins for Jermaine Beckford completed the rout with a fourth goal three minutes from time.

Leeds are now up to fourth in the table and are keeping the pressure up on Forest and Swansea City. Our very own Kevin Green and Bob Vincent were over for todays game ( flew from Shannon… Read more

Back On Track

Leeds United 3 Port Vale 0

After losing three of their last five games all be it only one was in the League vs Cheltenham ,Leeds got back to winning ways with a comprehensive win over lowely Port Vale. Midfielder Dave Prutton opened the scoring on 18 mins with Jermaine Beckford adding a second on 55 mins. However Beckford was to limp off on 67 mins with a shin injury which hopefully will not keep him out of the big derby game vs Huddesfield Town on Saturday.

His replacement Tore Andre Flo scored the third on 83 mins and was given a standing ovation by the crowd. Indeed Flo has a remarkable record for Leeds as he's played only 260 mins of football for the club due to injury and this was his third goal and all were scored at Elland Road. Hopefully he can remain injury free for the rest of… Read more

Happy Days James

Our fellow member James O Neill is basking in glory today as his other favourite team just captured the FAI Cup. James who is a season ticket holder with Cork City was at the RDS in Dublin yesterday to see Denis Behan score with a diving header to deny Longford Town a third cup victory in five seasons. Well I suppose James it could be another lifetime before Leeds contest a Cup Final so congratulations from all your friends at Ennislusc and saviour the victory.

Welcome Lads

It's not every supporters club that can say they are growing in numbers after being relegated twice in three seasons but that is what's happening at Ennislusc. Today we welcome on board John Mulcahy from Portdrine in Cratloe and Gerard O Brien from Shannon. Both are avid Leeds fans and it's thanks to our Basil that they signed up as he had told them how the club operates and the friiendship of all involved.

Indeed on signing up the lads purchased polo tops and jackets so they mean business. Hopefully we'll see on some trips in the furure.Great to have ye in the club lads. Marching On Together to The Championship.

Rock Bottom Team K.O. Leeds

Cheltenham Town 1 Leeds United 0

Playing a team for the first time ever in league football, one which presently lies at the bottom of the table and having 21 shots on goal over the 90 minutes one would expect an easy victory for Leeds but alas that was not the case. In fact Cheltenham to their credit hit Leeds a sucker punch on 85 mins when a headed clearance by stand in keeper David Lucas fell to the feet of Steven Gillespie who promptly lobbed the keeper from 25 yards.

Indeed Leeds had a goal disallowed on 64 mins when a Jonathan Douglas free kick was parried by keeper Higgs and Kandol headed the rebound home but was harshly flagged for offside. So Leeds suffered their third defeat in their five games since Gus Poyet left the club for Spurs and one wonders the effect this has had on the… Read more

Another Mighty Trip

Leeds United 2 Swindon Town 1

We keep saying how can these trips get any better but each one take a life of it's own and not for the first time we had a mega weekend in Yorkshire. Once again we were blessed with fantastic weather in Leeds while here at home there was torrential rain and of course we got a win to cap a great weekend.

Having landed in Liverpool after an event free not to mention stress free journey from Shannon we were met by our bus driver Rob who turned out to be the salt of the earth type. As our squad find it hard to endure a two hour coach trip we broke the trip in a town called Midelton ( no, not the one in Cork) for a few refreshments. The proprietors of the Gardners Arms made us feel at home and indeed shook our hand… Read more

We're Off

Tomorrow morning at 8am we'll leave the West County in Ennis for the first leg of our journey to Elland Road for the Swindon game. At the last count we have 25 on board for the trip and unlike other years we are staying in Bewleys on this occassion. Naturally we'll call to Paul and Angie in the newley refurbished Prince Of Wales and for the first time in quite a while Mike MacNamara will make the trip.

As it was Mike and Slim Corry who introduced the club to the Prince of Wales bar where we have since forged great friendships with all the staff there I'm sure the crack will be as good as always. Marching on Together.

Welcome To The Club Shane

It's great to welcome new member Shane Hayes from Loughville in Ennis to the club. A lifelong Leeds supporter it was Shane's good friend and present member Paul Phelan who introduced him to Ennislusc.

Unfortunately Shane does'nt move out that often due to an accident some years ago in America but he follows Leeds with the same passion as his fellow colleagues in the club. He is now the proud owner of one of the new Leeds jackets so all on sundry will know where his loyalties lie now. Great to have another loyal White on board Shane.
