Barnsley V Leeds SFA, 0 - 4.

WY Cup semi final, Saturday 19-02-05

Barnsley assosciation had arranged a worthy venue for this semi final clash in the shape of The Dorothy Hyman stadium. A beatiful looking pitch which was large enough to fill the entire centre field of this 400yd athletic track, but which on the day caused the ball to bobble somewhat, requiring total concentration from the boys. Welcome seats for the spectators who numbered in excess of 50 and the sun was shining too.

It's been coming, in glimpses, for some time. But today the Leeds boys achieved it, total football for 70 minutes and demonstrated strength and quality at every position and by every player. Barnsley, allthough they had chances, never really got a look in. If both teams had converted every 'gilt edged chance' then the score would have been 8 - 2 to Leeds. Credit to the Barnsley lads though because they are a good side and played some good football. Dissapointingly losing their most dangerous player, No 8, at half time because of a finger injury.

Leeds could have gone ahead in the first minute when Jayden Armstrong fired a gift over the bar. Two minutes later he redeemed himself by putting the ball into the back of the net from a much more difficult position outside the box! This goal arising from Marcus Jolliffes determination in midfield which won the ball for Joe Kendell whose efforts drew the keeper well out allowing the easy goal. The killer blow came three mintes before half time. Following Barnsleys first period of sustained pressure which would have resulted in a certain goal had it not been for an excellent save by Marc Child. Ryan Harrison on the break lifts the ball over the keeper and it's two up for Leeds. Second half, two early certain chances for Leeds go begging until the 45th minute when sub Scott Driscolls first touch of the ball leaves the Barnsley keeper floundering, stranded in no mans land and an easy goal for Connor Parsons. Barnsley possibly looked stronger in the second half or did Leeds just relax, confident that the game was won, back four coping admirably, letting no one through, espescially with the demise of the Barnsley number 8. With just under 15 minutes to go Ryan Harrison puts across a super ball into the Barnsley box, Connor Wilson making light work of it, first time hit, 4 - 0 and its all over. The rest of the game played out with no real threat from Barnsley, no danger to Leeds. Marching on, again, into the final. Lets hope that the venue is a big, big pitch with space which we can exploit like the midfield did today whilst still challenging and getting to the ball everytime the opponents had it.

Today, in a word, top drawer!!

Leeds V Sheffield SFA, Sat 12th February 2005.

Match abandoned after 64 minutes when  score 4 - 3.

The game itself Leeds very bright at the start, a goal after 3 minutes from a quickly taken short corner, Ryan Harrison, Tom Leneghan crossed in, Jayden Armstrong a classic strikers easy chance. Sheffield looked dangerous the warning from their first set piece was clear, a good ball in looking for their big number 6, second time no one picked him up and the game's level again. A penalty for Sheffield fired over the bar. Leeds second from another corner, Jayden Armstrong again, Leeds third from Connor Parsons seizing the opportunity after a poor Sheffield goal kick.

Second half the winds against Leeds and getting stronger. Sheffield's second comes from a corner, the ball cleared off the Leeds line but Sheffield getting to the loose ball first, the ball thumped into the roof of the net. Sheffield go level, three all, from yet another corner, the wind assisted ball ending up in the far corner of the Leeds goal without touching anyone. The wind really spoiling Leeds efforts to get out of their own half but they get back in front when a Sheffield defender heads a cross into his own net. Unfortunately this turned the game and the Sheffield lads, who had been more arms and elbows than football, all game, began to get even more petulant.

A disappointing end to a hard fought match, which left a very bitter after taste.

It needs to be added that this really should have read, 'a good match hard fought, spoiled by the ever increasing wind, but nevertheless Leeds managed to hang on and win by a goal'!!

But, unfortunately, despite being removed from the field of play the a Sheffield player had the final say, the player who had already been spoken to twice by the referee in the presence of his manager about his petulant and aggressive behaviour, the first time the manager speaking to the lad himself as well and the second time taking the hint and being allowed to substitute the lad who then threw his shirt down leaving it in the centre circle. Had he stayed with his manager in the 'technical area' everything would probably have been OK, but, after stepping from behind the touchline where he had removed himself to stand with the adult supporters he then choose to kick a Leeds player who was on the field of play, leaving him prostrate after the tackle. The referee, who had not seen this incident, then became embroiled with a Sheffield parent, after something had been said to him.

A good few minute's argument ensued before the Sheffield coach took the initiative and called the match off.

Blackburn V Leeds SFA,   1 - 0

Saturday 5th Feb 2005
 

A game that had everything, good football, controversy, drama, bookings, the lot, apart from goals, the decider came from the penalty spot. After the Blackburn striker had got off his shot and debatable whether the players were still on the pitch. Even then it looked like the spot kick had been put wide but apparently the ball went over the line and then out through a large hole in the side netting!

The good play came from Leeds who dominated throughout and played some excellent football without really penetrating or threatening to score. The number of times Blackburn got into the last third of the pitch throughout was in single figures and if Blackburn were still playing now they wouldn't have scored in open play. Although on each of the six times they got into the Leeds area they did get a shot off and make the keeper work.

The first half was very similar to the previous leg of this fixture. Blackburn looked organised and disciplined without looking dangerous, taking a full five minutes before they even got into the Leeds half. Leeds made it look easy, the back four confidently passing the ball between them, the midfield and front men passing back to gain a forward advantage. Leeds looking very bright down the right side with Tom Leneghan and Danny Kenworthy linking up nicely. Several chances for Leeds go begging when we failed to get players onto the end of good crosses.

The second half was dominated by Stuart Torrance of Blackburn whose refereeing would have given Martin Tyler and Andy Gray hours of discussion in the Sky TV studio at a Premier league match. Unfortunately this was a schoolboy game and although backchat to the ref should never occur, at any level, it should be dealt with in a common sense way and flourishing yellow cards at 12 & 13 year olds is not the way forward. Undeterred by the booking for the 37th minute penalty and 55th minute double booking for dissent Leeds continued to play some good football, and although at times we looked to lack that killer punch it became obvious that whatever happened Leeds were just not going to get the ball in the net.

Looking positively, although Blackburn won the match, the two leg fixture went easily to  Leeds, 3 - 1 on aggregate.

Leeds V Blackburn SFA,  3 - 0.

Saturday 28th January 2005.

 Leeds eventually ran out the easy winners in the second half of this entertaining game. The first half was not as one sided though and Blackburn looked an organised, well-disciplined team that could play football. Both sides had chances in the first half. Leeds had the ball in the back of Blackburn's net at one stage the goal disallowed for an offside infringement. It should have been 1 - 0 to Leeds after 25 minutes but the ball was somehow put wide from in front of an open net. Although the possession was something like 60/40 in Leeds favour Blackburn had their chances, the best a clear shot on goal put wide, only five minutes into the game. Blackburn's best phase of play being in the last five minutes of the first half when Leeds just lost their way a little with the midfield sitting deep and letting Blackburn boss the middle of the park.

The turning point came ten minutes into the second half. Leeds moved up a gear and Blackburn were not comfortable with neither the pace nor the increased physical tempo of the game. The Leeds players just forced their way through Blackburn who started to back off. Ryan Harrison attacking the Blackburn goal was blatantly tripped in the area after going past the defender. Marcus Joliffe easily converting the penalty. Five minutes later Jordan walker makes it number two, a lovely right foot shot from this natural left footer curled away from the keeper from the edge of the 21yd box. There was no doubt who was going to be the winners now and Leeds were a little guilty of complacency, in two short minutes allowing Blackburn their only attempts.

Leeds V York SFA, Saturday 18-12-04.

Last fixture of the year for Leeds. A squad reduced by illness. Weather conditions that made it look like Judgement day. From the kick off Leeds were under pressure and spent the first ten minutes in their own half. A couple of shots on goal from either side was all that was created during the first twenty minutes. Most of the play was in the middle two thirds of the field and possesion was probably in Yorks favour allthough Leeds looked lively and most likely to score on the break.

Yorks best chance of the match came twenty minutes into the first half and luckily  was squandered as their striker 'skyed' the ball. Half time and its nil a piece and you didn't need to be an expert to predict this as a 1 - 0 game, but who to?

The  second half started in the same vein as the first, very even really. Leeds a bit kick and run to start with and still struggling to work out a way through the York defence. Yorks' only chances of the second half came from free kicks within shooting range, the first going well over the bar and the second on target but safely taken at head height by keeper Luke Clifford.

The break finally came 26 minutes in, Ryan Harrison down the left side beating defender and placing it across the front of the keeper neatly into the far corner of the net, 1 - 0 Leeds! As soon as Leeds had scored it was all over, York got eight players behind the ball and apart from their second free kick never got anywher near the Leeds goal.

A top performance from the Leeds back four who solidly, together with the midfield, soaked up everything York came at them with until the breakthrough came when we took the chance and the match. Again Leeds looked very difficult to score against in open play, the set piece free kicks looking the  to the York players, espescially the back four who were outstanding and who all gave a good account of themselves. All in all a very professional performance in appaulling conditions where even the spectators deserved a medal.

Leeds (2)  V Coventry & Leicester (1) SFA

Saturday 4th December 2004

The first time these clubs have met and a decent bench mark of Leeds ability against a very strong side who are top of both leagues they compete in and have won 6/6 this season in the Midlands region. The team sheet would have frightened many as well, Coventry fielding both D. Seaman and T.Henry! A couple of scares at the back for Leeds in the first few minutes but keeper Marc Child does well to keep Coventry out. Leeds are putting a lot of balls over in the air, a tactic which was never going to work against this team who had big players all over the field. Just short of ten minutes and first blood to Coventry, a slip in defence and the Coventry striker makes neat work of beating the lone keeper.

Leeds are undeterred and two minutes later Joe Kendall goes close after good work by Daniel Kenworthy put him clear.

On the fifteen minute mark Leeds go level. Jordan Walker working down the left flank releases Joe Kendall who leaves the Coventry right back for dead and squeezes the ball between keeper and near post.

At 1 -1 theres not much in it, both teams working well, much of the play being in the centre of the park. Leeds could probably haver done better if they had just relaxed a bit and played the ball out of defence, to feet, keeping the ball on the floor and trying to go around Coventry rather than through and over. With the size and capabilities of the players they have its easy to see why they are are unbeaten. Penalty area action and a nasty clash of heads sees Leeds centre half Tom Coldwell taken off with a head injury and a break in play. Marcus Jolliffe, central midfielder, slipping into the breach like he played there every week. Seconds after the game restarts Marc Child pulls off the save of the match from a fine strike by the big Coventry number 14.

At half time you would have to say that the match could  go either way between these two strong sides. How wrong though and the second half was all Leeds as Coventry started to flag and run out of steam, never really threatening in the second half apart from a super strike from 25yds out which rattled the bar but which was their only shot on goal. Leeds showed real strength both of their stamina and mentally, continuing to play with the same effort and determination from start to finish and seeing off the visitors comfortably in the end.

Jordan Walker went close on a couple of occaisions the best a clever ball, passed round the keeper but just rolling wide. The Coventry keeper did well to keep Leeds out when he failed to hold Danny Kenworthys free kick and used virtually every bit of his prostrate body to keep the chasing Leeds players from potting the loose ball. Leeds looked to be sufferring on several fronts with injuries and knocks at one brief stage only having ten men on. Credit to the Coventry defence who were just managing to hang on. The breakthrough came after sixty minutes, a cracking strike on the edge of the area from Daniel Kenworthy, straight into the top left corner. Thoroughly deserved by this young man who had battled and worked relentlessly all match.

An excellent performance by all the Leeds players who can take heart from this journeyman performance.

Sheffield V Leeds SFA, Saturday 27th November 2004, West Yorkshire Cup tie.

A cracker of a game this that swung both ways, hard, tough, fast, no quarter given and none taken by either side from start to finish. On reflection Leeds should have made more of it and could feasibly have won this 3 - 1. But in the end it took extra time to separate the two teams and even then it went right to the wire, the winner coming in the last minute of the 2nd period of extra time.

A ref intent on letting the game flow irrespective of minor misdemeanours such as accidental hand balls and only stopping the game for the more blatant incidents of foul play. Credit to the players as well, tough as it was there was no malice or intent shown by either side.

A poor pitch, grooved by years of liming in the running lanes of the athletics track that ran through the northern half of the pitch. Either that or we were just lucky that the super trams weren't running in this part of Sheffield today! The field event markings marring the other half of the pitch and not a cup of tea or coffee in sight. Disappointing this, the hospitality (or lack of) shown by home teams really makes a difference to the day and reinforces the need continue to maintain the high standard that we do.

A bright start from Leeds who dominated the first ten minutes with passing football and it took a full ten minutes before Leeds were troubled by Sheffield who gave the first signs that they could be dangerous. From this point Sheffield started to ascend and Leeds started to look a bit shaky and even lazy at times when they were frequently beaten to the second ball. The tram lines in the pitch defeated several Leeds players causing the ball to bounce wildly out of their control and if that wasn't enough there was the Sheffield number 5 to beat who was, for my money, their best and most effective player throughout.

Half time    0 - 0.

Leeds are straight into the task at the re-start forcing an early free kick and it doesn't take long before Leeds show how to open Sheffield up. Total football down the left flank, going backward to go forward, Jordan Walker, Ryan Harrison, Jayden Armstrong released with only the keeper to beat, first game back after an injury chips it around and over the Sheffield keeper.

Ten minutes later Sheffield get back on terms when the aptly named Mr 'T' charges down a clearance on the edge of the box and makes light work of putting it into the Leeds net.

Leeds are really under the cosh now and the middle of the pitch belongs to Sheffield, the Leeds midfield getting sucked back to shore up the defence, the result being that every time Leeds cleared their lines that Sheffield came straight back at them. It could have been finished in normal time, Connor Parsons denied by a goal line clearance from Sheffield full back,  number 3.

Extra time looked like it could go either way, players starting to look a bit jaded on both sides. The first period marred by an injury to Johnny Routledge who was carried off. Second period of extra time was dominated by Leeds. A Joe Kendell shot cleared off the line after the keeper only managed to get fingertips to the ball and parry it down. Can't remember the last minute but Jayden Armstrong got the ball in the net from a looping cross, 1-2 Leeds, marching on together to the next round!!!!

NEXT ROUND IS AWAY AT BARNSLEY ON 19TH FEBRUARY

Wakefield V Leeds Schools FA Saturday 13th Novemeber 2004

A bit frantic to start with, all the play down Leeds left flank, leaving, at times, no one in the right half of the pitch, but after five minutes things settle down and Leeds start to move the ball around a bit and play some football. First ten minutes and all the chances have gone to Leeds, Joe Kendal, Ryan Harrison and Marcus Jolliffe all having a go. Thirteen minutes gone and Daniel Kenworthy has one cleared off the line in a worthy last ditch effort by a Wakey defender.

Leeds are really starting to put Wakey under the cosh and a goal looks certain to come allthough the Leeds frontmen really need to be careful and not get caught offside as much. Bang on twenty five minutes Leeds go ahead, Joe Kendal showing how to beat defenders and then how to finish when he smashes it past the keeper who looked like he didn't even see it! Leeds really looked the part and were linking up right across the park. Thirty minutes gone and Ryan Harrison makes it two to Leeds when again the keeper is beaten on a 'one on one'. The Wakefield coach is none too happy though when he sees his defender get a knock and go down seconds before the goal and castigates the ref for not stopping play! Half time 2 - 0.

Leeds come out firing on all cylinders, Scott Driscoll has a go and only just puts it over the bar. A brave save from the Wakefield keeper, diving at the feet of Joe Kendal denies Leeds getting a third.

Wakefield  get one back from the penalty spot after their striker is brought down in the Leeds box. Too many goals have been conceded this season by Leeds from penalty kicks or deadballs around the area, in fact all bar the last two sloppy goals that were given to North Tyneside have been conceded this way.

Wakefield are bouyed by the score and with fighting spirit try to get back level. Leeds are having nothing of it, Kendal hits the post literally seconds from the re-start then only minutes later beats first defender then keeper and passes across the open goal for Connor Parsons to tap in. Halfway through the second half Wakefield have their best chance. A high ball in the air, floated over from a corner kick on the left gives Leeds real problems, no one really dealing with it and the fluffed attempt drops just to the right of the post. The next phase of play gives Leeds a fourth, Johnny Routledge in midfield putting Joe Kendal through to give us all another example in 'how to beat defenders and brilliant finishing'! In all reality it was now all over and the last ten minutes were played out in a relaxed fashion, Leeds playing the ball around and Wakefield knowing there was little they could do.

It could have been different though, if Leeds had continued to play Wakefield at their own game, like they did in the opening stages, they would have been hard to beat, Wakey could have battled and mixed it with the best. The key to todays result was to open up and distribute the ball like Leeds can do, passing, moving, using both flanks and opening up teams with skill and ingenuity. A team of battlers can compete against us, we saw that against N.Tyneside, but none of these types of team can get a look in if we deny them the chance to get to the ball by passing it around.

Match referee Mr Fred Ritchie of Wombwell, Barnsley, a character and a gentleman, didn't put a foot wrong.

U13Leeds SFA V N.Tyneside  -  0 , 3

Saturday 6th November 2004

 The first defeat of the season for Leeds. Had it finished a scoreless draw we would probably said it had been a good result and a good effort. A few below par performances? A North Tyneside team that was very strong and very resolute without looking to have any real outstanding or quality players.

It looked from the kick off that there would only be a single goal that would decide this one. For most of the match it looked like that goal was probably going to come from Leeds. North Tyneside showed from the start though that they were going to be strong, they were definitely not going to be second to the ball either. They also looked for most of the match that they were never going to score and they were content to battle away in their own half or in midfield, confident in their defence and their ability to pass the ball about without making any real effort to attack their opponents. At the end of the first of the three twenty minute periods Leeds looked the most likely to have gone ahead.

Manager Mr Atkinson rings the changes for the second period and during this time Leeds played their best football and went the closest to scoring.

At the end of the second period it's still scoreless and a betting man would have gone for 0 - 0 or 1 - 0 to Leeds. N. Tyneside are definitely up for it, can play the ball around but just lack any penetration beyond the two thirds mark, having said that they were always going to be tough to beat.

Calderdale V Leeds SFA - 16 -10-04

It takes only six minutes for the first goal to come, route one, Johnny Routledge playing a ball from deep over the Calderdale defence. Joe Kendal making no mistakes with the finish. Could have been a few more goals here with a bit of luck and several Leeds players go close and could have had even more chances had they not got caught offside as much.

Leeds though pile on the pressure from the front and Calderdale are continually pushed into their own half leaving the Leeds defence little to do.

Leeds second comes on the 25 minute mark, Joe Kendal seizes on the Calderdale keepers error when he neither holds on nor clears far enough and shoots into an open goal after leaving the stranded keeper prostrate.

A let off for Leeds in the early stages of the second half when a Calderdale penalty  is put wide of the goal. Leeds third comes from Ryan Harrison on eight minutes. The fourth a minute later, Connor Parsons putting away a cross that came from the outstanding Joe Kendal.

Calderdale get one back within 60 seconds, an excellent free kick from the edge of the box leaving Marc Child little chance but to parry it into the top left hand corner. Allthough Leeds were winning they went a little quiet for the next five minutes.

A scorcher from Marcus Jolliffe, taking the ball a good twenty yards out, turns, shoots into the top right. The keeper gets to it but can do nothing but push it into the roof of his net, 5 - 1 , Leeds.

With ten minutes to go Leeds are not finished. A good ball through from Sam Graham gives Kendal his hat trick, again dribbling around the Calderdale keeper and walking the ball into the net. With only a minute or so left Leeds get their seventh. The Calderdale keeper making an excellent save from Connor Wilsons shot but leaving a loose ball for Jordan Walker to pick off. Not really a game for the Leeds defenders but Johnny Routledge and Tom Coldwell both made an excellent challenge each when it mattered and Ben Potter was noticeable by his absence when substituted.

An easy one really for Leeds, but all credit to Calderdale whose heads never went down and who continued battling to the end. With the players they have and a little time it probably wont be as easy next time. Match referee was Mark Beard of Mytholmroyd who gave an excellent performance.

Hull V Leeds SFA Saturday 9th October 2004

Following recent form Leeds are slow off the mark and looked a little shaky for the first few minutes, chances either way though. Hull's keeper just beating Jayden Armstrong to the ball and then Hull shooting just wide. The play was all Leeds who were confident and assured, defending from the front. Chance after chance was created. Connor Wilson floating a free kick over the Hull back four. Ryan Harrison taking on defenders leaving them for dead, the final ball going wide. Jayden Armstrong shooting just the wrong side of the post. Joe Kendel with an excellent shot saved. Marc Child confidently taking a high ball from an excellent Hull free kick. Not one Leeds player put a foot wrong at this stage but the ball just wouldn't go in, had there been a score the final result would have gone to Leeds and too many chances were missed before the opening goal after 22 minutes play. Ben Potter confidently pushes the ball from deep right to keeper Marc Child, across again to left back Scott Driscoll who carries the ball. Driscoll releases winger Harrison who takes it all the way to the by line before delivering an excellent cross to Joe Kendel who having followed all the way meets the ball in the box to put it away. Two minutes before half time Leeds go two up. Joe Kendel receiving the ball in midfield looks up, sees Jayden Armstrong in a good position and puts the ball through the Hull defensive line for Armstrong to chase and make scoring look easy, calmly putting it past the keepers right hand. Second half Hull come out looking a little stronger. Leeds sit back and take the strain, at first with little difficulty, maintaining their confidence and covering well. Ten minutes gone and Hull have a good chance, a shot from distance going just wide. A good battle developing between the Hull number 8 and Leeds defender Tom Coldwell but disaster strikes when the ref awards Hull a free kick on the edge of the Leeds box for what was a 50/50 aerial challenge that the Leeds player won easily, it should have been play on! Nevertheless the Hull number 8 executes an excellent dead ball that left keeper Luke Clifford no chance at all. Buoyed by this Hull look stronger and start to get on top of the mid field battle. Twenty minutes into the half and Leeds start to look a bit shaky, a couple of defensive nightmares, inability to keep hold of the ball and Hull just keep coming back at them.

Five minutes from time and real controversy breaks out. Hull feed a ball through, defender Coldwell tackles the breaking Hull attacker and gets a foot in, its not clear who it comes off but the ball travels to keeper Clifford, the ref judges it a back pass! Mr Hunt then brandishes a yellow card at the keeper, Suffice to day Hull get the ball in the back of the net from the indirect free kick, 2 - 2! The rest of the match deteriorated into a messy scrap, an un warranted booking for the Hull number 7, a brief flurry from Leeds in the dying minutes and a Leeds free kick which went close.

v Nottingham (A), 25th Sept

Probably the best pitches you will see all season at Nottingham University Highfield sports grounds and excellent refreshment facilities as well.'

A minutes silence was observed in respect of 'Ol Big Head', Brian Clough, who had links with both cities, if only for 44 days at our end, and whether you loved him or hated him will go down in history in the same league as Shankly, Paisley, Ferguson and Revie.

A game of two distinct halves this, the first in Nottinghams favour and the second to Leeds. Leeds looked a little shaky for the first two minutes but soon settled down. Nottingham were no doubt the stronger team in the first half and Leeds really had to battle and work to keep in touch and were made to sit a little deep at times. Having said that there was excellent football played by both sides. Nottingham looking a very pacy side who wanted to play  to feet.

Twelve minutes into the first half and Nottingham have a clear cut chance, should have made it count really. Leeds first real opportunity comes when Daniel Kenworthy releases Ryan Harrison down the left wing, an excellent ball across the box narrowly eluded striker Jayden Armstrong who only just failed to get on the end of it. Five minutes before the whistle and Leeds suffer their first injury, Tom Lenaghan substituted by Tom Coldwell. End of the first period and it's 0 - 0.

Leeds come out with coach, Nathan Atkinson, having made quite a few changes. Leeds are straight into the game and Tom Coldwell threads a ball through the Notts back four, Ryan Harrison looks certain to beat the keeper one on one but the Notts goalie comes out to meet him on the edge of the box, Harrison unfortunately coming off worse in the 50/50 ball and having to be taken off.

Twenty minutes into the second half and Joe Kendal fires just wide of the Notts goal, a good effort. Leeds loking good and there are some capable performances across the field. Some super battling by new signing Johnny Routledge and Marcus Jolliffe trying some shots from distance and forcing an excellent save from the Notts goalie with one of them. Eventually the inevitable comes and Leeds clinch it with about five minutes left, Scott Driscoll gets the ball across the Notts box and Jayden Armstrong is in the right place to leave himself a simple tap in. 1 - 0 to Leeds. To be honest it looked from the off that there would only be a goal in this game, either way. Credit to Leeds who showed some strength of character in the first half that allowed them, journeyman fashion, to grind out a well deserved win.

A big thanks from the Nottingham City Boys President as well, they collected the most raffle money ever 107, who said Yorkshire peolpe were tight?

Third period and Leeds are straight out and at Spen Valley giving them no chance either on the ball or off it. Tom Lenaghan looking excellent with the ball at his feet on the right and continuing to link up well with Armstrong. A glimpse of opportunity for Spen valley when they pull one back from the penalty spot after a hand ball incident and then again in open play when Clifford makes a fine save from Spen Valleys number 14. Controversy then when a Leeds penalty is saved and a retake is ordered after players encroached the box too early, Driscoll makes easy work of the retake, 4 - 1, Leeds. Looked all over really but Daniel Kenworthy set up Leeds fifth when he pulled the ball back from the by line for new signing Connor Parson to fire home to make it 5 - 1 in the dying seconds.
