Leeds found their form early in the
game to sink Wharfedale, with skipper
Dave McKay controlling midfield in
front of the usual solid Leeds
defence. |
|
|
|
Some good movement up front from
George Lazaro & Bradd Hibberd started
to cause Wharfedale trouble & with
Matt Wood & Adam Todd starting to
dominate the right flank the game
swung Leeds' way. |
|
|
|
On fifteen minutes Leeds took the lead
from a fine through ball by to release
Bradd Hibberd to run 20 yards before
cooly shooting past the Wharfedale
Keeper (1-0) |
|
|
|
Wharfedale's response made little
headway against the uncompromising
Leeds defence with Sam Dibb & Sam
Bradley dominating anything near the
Leeds penalty area & Woody & Jake
Williams at fullbacks completely
snuffing out any wing play. |
|
|
|
With twenty minutes gone Leeds nearly
made it two when Luke Boyes shot from
way out left brought a good save from
the Wharfedale keeper & a couple of
minutes later George Lazaro beat the
keeper but saw his attempt drift just
past the far post. |
|
|
|
Wharfedale had no answer to movement
of Leeds with the defence outstanding
on the rare Wharfedale attacks that
got anywhere near the Leeds box. |
|
|
|
Leeds increased the their lead after
34 minutes when again Bradd Hibberd
latched onto a loose ball near penalty
spot to tease the defenders & somehow
slip past 2 defenders before lobbing
the keeper (2-0). |
|
|
|
Just how dominant Leeds were was
apparent when Ben Danby the Leeds
keeper dealt with the first Wharfedale
attempt with an easy catch on 42
minutes!!! HT 2-0 to Leeds. |
|
|
|
Wharfedale started the second half
brighter with their bolstered midfield
having some success for the first time
in the game but, this was only short
lived as once again Leeds started to
press the beleaguered Wharfedale
defence with first, Blakey, the Leeds
vice captain bringing out a good save
from the keeper, then George Lazaro
shooting just wide. |
|
|
|
Leeds replaced Boysy on 55 mins who
had a knock with Josh Townend who was
quickly into action with a couple
strong tackles to make his presence
felt. |
|
|
|
Leeds wrapped the game up after 60
minutes when George Lazaro's unselfish
running opened up Wharfedale again &
he finished off a fine move to make
3-0 to Leeds. |
|
|
|
Leeds made a second sub straight away
with Blakey making way for Tom Tempest
who had shot on goal after a couple of
minutes of being in the game. |
|
|
|
Bradd Hibberd fired over after 65 mins
but could not be denied his Hat trick
on 70 mins when again catching out the
defence with a well timed run from a
through ball by he ran at the keeper &
finished off in style with a cheeky
dink over the keeper Leeds 4-0. |
|
|
|
Bradd Hibberd come off to a standing
ovation from both benches for an
exceptional performance. He was
replaced by Lwazi NCube on 72 minutes. |
|
|
|
Lwazi made 5 nil when crashed in a
shot from a loose ball from a Leeds
corner after 78 minutes. Lwazi set the
sixth goal when left wing cross was
pounced upon by Adam Todd with a
couple minutes to go to crash into the
Wharfedale net. |
|
|
|
A terrific performance by Leeds back
four outstanding, Midfield Awesome,
Attack Lethal. |

LEEDS |

|
|
|
The final league game for Leeds FA
in group one at Ossett Towns FC
Resulted in a well deserved 1-0
victory. |
|
|
|
Both teams started brightly with some
neat build up play around midfield but
not progressing much past the first
line of defence. Once the game settled
down Leeds started to dominate
possession in midfield & both Lazaro &
Hibbard up front were proving a hand
full for the opposition defence. |
|
|
|
After 12 mins George Lazaro had a
cross shot well saved by the home
keeper & again 2 mins later he tipped
a shot from Leeds right back Woody
round the post. |
|
|
|
Leeds should have scored when Luke
Boyes was through on the keeper but
put the ball wide of the post. With
Leeds really driving forward only the
home keeper kept Heavy Woollen FA in
the game making further saves from
George & Brad & a vicious shot by Adam
Todd on the right side. |
|
|
Leeds eventually took a deserved lead
on 38 mins from a great cross field
pass by George to Toddy who held off a
challenge before volleying the ball
past the keeper.
HT 1-0 to Leeds. |
|
|
|
The Leeds keeper had not been troubled
at all thanks to a great performance
by the back four again.Leeds made a
change at the break Scott Mathews
replacing Jorden Blake in midfield. |
|
|
|
Heavy Woollen started the sharper
after the break finally bringing the
Leeds keeper into action for the first
time in the game. Heavy Woollen almost
levelled after 50mins when a slip by
the centre backs allowed the home
striker through on goal but a great
tackle back by Woody saved the day for
Leeds, From the corner a looping
header hit the top of the Leeds bar. |
|
|
Leeds got back on track when first
Brad Hibbard then Luke Boyes had shots
again well saved by the home
keeper.Then from a Leeds corner George
saw his header cleared off the line.
With Heavy Woollen making all their
subs in a bid to change the outcome
Leeds brought on Leon Thompson &
Luiaze NcCute for Brad Hibbard &
George Lazaro who had run themselves
into the ground . |
|
|
Another great tackle by Woody in the
Leeds box when the home team looked
like they might score was the final
danger for Leeds who kept most of the
possession in the final minutes.
Another great defensive show by Leeds
shows the strength in depth with both
Josh Townend & Sam Dibb not available
for this game, It will be tough to
decide who will get the shirts for the
Semi- Finals sometime in late March or
April. |
|
|
|
Man of the Match was Matty Wood for
Leeds & the home keeper for Heavy
Woollen. |

Leeds started their
game against Barkston Ash with great
control on a very difficult surface
due to overnight frost which had just
about thawed at kick off. |
|
|
|
Although Leeds showed plenty of ball
possesion during the first half hour
they did not managed to find the final
pass to really trouble the Home
keeper. George Lazaro made some great
runs into the home defence without
getting the final pass he deserved &
Luke Boyes on the left side showing
good pace when on the ball causing
Barkston defence problems his crosses
were not capitalised on in the home
box. |
|
|
The Leeds defence were in superb form
when Barkston did get into the Leeds
half with all the back four knocking
the ball around with ease & Jorden
Blake & Dave McKay in midfield getting
plenty of the ball. Leeds finally
broke the deadlock on 35 mins with
Brad Hibbard scoring from close range
. He put Leeds further ahead after 43
mins with his second goal from again
close range. The Leeds keeper had
never been troubled at all in the
first 45 mins.
HT 0-2. |
|
|
The second half started with Leeds in
total control again Dave McKay
carrying knock came off for Tom
Tempest at the start of the second
half & Tom got involved breaking fast
from midfield & only the home keeper
stopped him scoring with a good save.
Leeds went further ahead after 54 mins
when George Lazaro rose well to head
home from a great corner by Boyes 3-0
Leeds. |
|
|
|
Leeds rang the changes after 57 mins
with Nick Akondi replacing Adam Todd
out on the right wing & within 4 mins
Nick scored with a well placed shot
for Leeds fourth goal after great work
by Gearge Lazaro, With the final
change Leeds brought on Leon Thompson
after 64 mins taking over at left back
from Jake Williams. |
|
|
|
Leeds in full flow were overrunning
the home defence & Bradd, George, &
Luke all having shots tipped round the
post by the overworked home keeper. |
|
|
Bradd Hibbard finally got his hat
trick with a 20yd shot after 67 mins
which put Leeds 5 up.
George rounded off a great performance
after 83 mins with great drive from
outside the box to get Leeds sixth. |
|
|
|
In the final couple of minutes the
home side did cause Leeds defence a
few problems & Ben Danby made an
exellent one on one save to keep a
clean sheet for the third time in four
matches. Final score 6-0 to Leeds
which should get Leeds into the semi
finals. |
|
|
|
Man of the Match went to George Lazaro
but every Leeds player had a claim to
the award for a fine team performance,
Both centre backs Josh Townend & Sam
Bradley were outstanding throughout
both making their debuts in this
competition. |

Leeds went into this game against
top of the table Halifax looking to
maintain there unbeaten record. |
|
|
|
The visitors started the brighter,
forcing 2 early corners but both were
easily dealt with by Ben Danby in the
Leeds goal. |
|
|
|
Leeds conjured up their first real
attack after 9 minutes when Jordan
Blake passed to Brad Hibberd who, in
turn, played the ball wide for the
speedy Luke Boyes whose pace left the
Halifax defence for dead and he coolly
slotted home to give Leeds the lead. |
|
|
|
The first half continued to be tight
with Jake Williams clearing the only
real chance for Halifax off the Leeds
line, but Leeds were looking the
stronger as the half finished with
Halifax being restricted to long range
shots which did not trouble the Leeds
defence. |
|
|
|
Leeds came out the stronger team after
the break. The flowing football
that we saw in the first game was back
and Halifax were struggling to cope
with the movement. It was no surprise
when Leeds went 2-0 up on the hour
mark. |
|
|
|
Luke Boyes again caused problems on
the left hand side and it was his pass
that found Adam Todd on the edge of
the area. Todd took a great
first touch before lashing the ball
into the roof of the net. Leeds
continued to push forward and a number
of fine saves from the Halifax keeper
made sure the game ended 2-0. |
|
|
|
A thoroughly deserved win for Leeds
which takes them to the top of the
table with a game in hand. |

Leeds come back from 1-3 down to
grab a vital point in the final
seconds |
|
|
|
The flying form that saw Leeds cruise
to an easy win over Craven seemed to
desert them in their encounter with
Huddersfield on a wet and windy day at
Farsley's Throstle Nest Ground. |
|
|
|
Leeds suffered a set back in the third
minute when Adam Hill netted for
Huddersfield (0-1) but they were soon
back on level terms when Brad Hibbard
made the best of a defensive mistake
to drill the ball past the helpless
Huddersfield keeper.. (1-1) |
|
|
|
The visitors restored their lead after
20 minutes when keeper Ben Danby
suffered the dread of all goalkeepers
by allowing a soft shot to slip
through his fingers (1-2) and a third
goal left Huddersfield looking
comfortable at the half time break.
(1-3) |
|
|
|
With 15 minutes remaining, the game
looked settled in Huddersfield's
favour and, even when captain Dave McKay
scored a second for Leeds with just
five minutes remaining (2-3), there
were few in the ground who would have
bet on another Leeds goal but, with
just seconds to the final whistle,
McKay soared at the far post to head a
right wing cross into the top corner.
(3-3) |

It was the first game of the new
season for the Leeds & District FA
Under 17's verses Craven FA. |
|
|
The early exchanges saw both teams
playing a tight game with the only
real chance falling to Craven who had
a long range shot well saved by Ben
Dandy in the Leeds goal.
Leeds crisp passing game though and
began to see them stretch the
visitors. A couple of excellent runs
down the right wing from Adam Todd
nearly resulted in the opening goal
but Leeds just failed to score. |
|
|
|
The Craven defence were beginning to
drop deep as they were struggling to
cope with the movement and pace of
Brad Hibbard and it was no surprise
when Hibbard linked well with Adam
Todd to split open the Craven defence.
Hibbard held off 2 challenges from the
Craven defence and coolly slotted the
ball in. |
|
|
Leeds were beginning to move the ball
from left to right and were unlucky
not to increase the lead when captain
Dave McKay linked well with Jordan
Blake to fire narrowly over the bar.
But it was Leeds who were asking the
questions and it was no surprise when
they doubled their lead on the 39th
minute. Another move down the right
hand side saw Adam Todd's precision
cross pick out Nick Akhondi on the
edge of the area and his superb right
foot volley gave the Craven keeper no
chance. As the half time whistle
approached Leeds pressed forward and
after a flowing move Jordan Blake made
it Leeds 3 Craven 0.
The second half saw Leeds continue to
dominate. Craven tried to push forward
but the Leeds defence, which was
excellently marshalled by Sam Dibb
looked in no mood to be breached. In
fact it was the Craven keeper who was
the busiest and he made a couple of
excellent saves to keep them in the
game. It was then the turn of the
woodwork to come to the rescue as Dave
McKay's long range effort came back
off the post.
But Leeds continued to push, and a
long ball from Jake Williams wasn't
dealt with by the Craven defence which
allowed man of the match Brad Hibbard
to nip in and strike on goal. His
effort was well saved but Leuiza Ncute
was on hand to blast home the rebound.
It was a very good start for Leeds who
played some excellent football and
they are now looking forward to their
next match at home to Huddersfield in
late October. |
