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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Hereford United 0 Leeds United 0

With the game live on Sky Sports nearly 30 members turned up at Moroneys Bar to see Leeds hold out for a goalless draw with a spirited Hereford side in the first round of the FA Cup.Indeed if the truth be told Wise and his boys can consier themselves very luck to still be in the Cup as on chances Hereford should have one this game against a very disappointing Leeds side.

Hereford, currently second in League Two, made life difficult for Leeds from the start and were perhaps unlucky to see a penalty appeal waved away in only the second minute when Matt Heath barged into Trevor Benjamin. There were few other chances in a tight first half as Leeds began to enjoy the majority of possession, although Ben Smith struck a shot just wide from distance for Hereford.

The Bulls continued to carve… Read more

Carlisle 3 Leeds United 1

With new assistant manager Dave Bassett joining Dennis Wise on the sidelines at Brunton Park in front of Carlisle's biggest home crowd since 1976 (16,668) Leeds were hoping to extend their unbeaten run but alas it came crashing down in the second half. It was Leeds who started much the better side with Seb Carole heading over and Jonathan Douglas bringing a terrific save from Westwood on 11 minutes. On 28 mins Leeds took a deserved lead when a Douglas shot was only half cleared and Beckford tapped home for his eight goal of the season. In stoppage time both Beckford and David Prutton went close for Leeds who ended the half well in command.

Leeds also started the second half brightly when Carole shot straight at Westwood after being set up by Beckford. However on 61 mins disaster struck when Simon Hackney hit a screamer from… Read more

On Friday next the 9th Nov Leeds are away to Hereford United in the first round of the FA Cup and it's live on Sky Sports 1 at 7.45pm. As usual the club will be meeting in Moroneys Bar Market Street Ennis for the game and all you Leeds fans are welcome.

As always the crack will be good and you won't go home hungry!

Leeds United 4 Millwall 2

As the song by M People goes Moving On Up and that's just what Wises Boys did today after their victory over Millwall at Elland Road in front of their biggest crowd of the season 30,319. Leeds are now up to 6th in the table an amazing feat and unbeaten in 13 league games which is a credit to all concerned.

After a quiet opening 37 minutes during which Millwall had the ball in the net but it was ruled out for offside it was Leeds who broke the deadlock when David Prutton struck a precise half-volley past Lenny Pidgeley in the Millwall goal. Pidgeley was then responsible for Leeds second goal when he made a hash of a clearance on 53 minutes and the ball eventually fell to Jermaine Beckford to finish with ease.

Jonathan Douglas scored his first goals of the season on 57 and… Read more

When Margaret Murphy from Parnell Street Ennis walked in one day to Murphys Shoe Repair Shop in Cronins Yard Upper Market Street Ennis little did Johnny Murphy an avid Leeds fan and member of Ennislusc know what was to come next. During the conversation about what repairs were to be carried out on her shoes Margaret noticed a pennant of Leeds United hanging in the background. She then asked Johnny if he was a fan and on finding out that he was she told him that her grandson Finn Coughlan who hails from York and is eight years of age goes to the Leeds Academy for training twice a week.

Stunned by this Johnny told her about our club, how we travel over twice a year for games, the website address and the gear that we recently purchased. Straight away Margaret asked about the possibility of purchasing a top for Finn… Read more

When Martin Joel walked away from his job as manager of Spurs yesterday evening little did we know the effect this could have on our beloved Leeds. Hardly was Jol gone when news filtered through the Spurs were looking for Poyet as assistant manager to their yet to be announced new manager.

Although Leeds released a statement straight away, Gus has been advised not to attend tomorrows home game vs Millwall to allow the players focus on the game and Alan Thompson who is presently injured will take his place on the bench alongside Dennis Wise. This seems to be a clear statement that there is no smoke without fire and give that Spurs are a big Premiership team it's only natural that Poyet would want to join them given the opportunity.

Gus would be a tremendous loss to the club as tomorrow Wise and himself celebrate a year with the club… Read more

Leeds United 1 Leyton Orient 1

An action-packed game at Elland Road saw Leyton Orient claim a deserved 1-1 draw against Leeds and indeed only for a terrible error by the linesman Orient would and should have claimed full points. Orient went ahead after nine minutes when Sean Thornton's free-kick alluded everyone and went in. However that proved to be Thornton's only real contribution as he was sent off for an off-the-ball incident on 32 mins.

With a crowd of 29,177 at Elland Road ,Leeds levelled just before the hour when Seb Carole fired home and then on 80 mins they were awarded a penalty for a foul on Carole but Tresor Kandol fired a penalty over the bar. Unfortunatelt foe Wise ,Alan Thompson limped off with a suspected hamstring problem and looks to be out for a few weeks.

The dram was not however over and 10 man Orient were… Read more

Brighton 0 Leeds United 1

Leeds stretched their unbeaten start to the League One season to 12 games with a battling win at Withdean Stadium .This was Leeds first victory at the Stadium since Brighton moved there from the Goldstone Ground and it pushes Leeds up to 9th in the table now. Tresor Kandol's sixth goal of the campaign with just 11 minutes remaining proved the difference in a week where he signed an extension to his contract.

Rui Marques was Leeds Man of The Match and Irish International Jonathan Douglas came in for the injured Alan Thompson at midfiels after missing last weeks game while on International duty.

The club has penciled in the Swindon game for our first venture over to Elland Road on Saturday 17th November. Presently there are 22 booked for the trip and with flights costing €75, match ticket €45, coach from Liverpool to Leeds return €40 and 2 nights Bed and Breakfast in Bewleys from €100 the trip is good value in this day and age. Once again we are flying from Shannon and although the Shannon to Leeds Bradford route is starting up in November the days Ryanair fly do not lend themselves for going over for weekend fixtures.

If you are interesting in going on the trip don't hesitate to contact Paul Nihill at 086-8346091 to book your place.

Darlington 0 Leeds United 1

While this first round game in the Johnstone's Paint trophy was nothing to write home about at least it gave us Leeds fans the opportunity to see them on Sky. New signing Paul Huntington from Newcastle United scored on his debut with a header on 48 minutes and most pleasing was that Leeds kept another clean sheet.

Hoever the highlight of the night was the launch of the clubs new jackets, rugby style tops and golf tops. Here the club must give great credit to Kevin Greene who did trogan work in insuring that the gear was there on the night for the first televised game this season involving our beloved Leeds. On the night the jackets sold out and a repeat order has already been put in with Low Cost Leisure in Limerick. All were of the opinion that the gear was exceptional and with the… Read more

Also last night long time Leeds United fans Kieran and Shane Moroney joined Ennislusc as did Josie Nestor who many would fondly remember from their years in St Flannans. On the night Shane also purchased a jacket and top so there is no doubting his loyaltys to The Whites. Great to have you all on board and Marching on Together.

Leeds United 1 Yeovil 0

Leeds are making a habit of scoring late winners when Mark de Vries headed in a Jonathan Douglas cross in the 89 minute much to the delight of the home supporters. United are now just three points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest following a last-gasp win over Yeovil. The Glovers gave as good as they got at Elland Road before being undone by de Vries last-gasp winner.

Dennis Wise has been crowned League One Manager of the Month. His Leeds United side were again unbeaten through September, as they were in August. Leeds won every game, barring one - which was a 1-1 draw at Gillingham, and they were only pegged back in the final minute when down to just nine men.

On receiving his award Wise tols reporters,
"We knew we had a lot of quality in our dressing room. We've got a lot younger squad this year and I think that was important, we've got a lot of pace and power that we didn't have last year and I think that is the difference. We've got two men up front, Kandol and Beckford, who have been absolutely fantastic so far. But I can't count out a few of the players at the back, Rui Marques has been outstanding as well. We've had some good performances… Read more
