Thanks yoda, we got a bit of a bumber, Quay Celtic from Dundalk away, no disrespect to them, but they are in the same league as ourselves and we were hoping to get a crack at one of the big boys. Great win for Leeds over Belgrove, mightly impressed with that. They are the richest club in all of Ireland, sold their ground for €9million and got the cream of intermediate players.

Look out for their goalkeeper - Matthew Stokes, top keeper and a sound bloke

No he's not their keeper anymore, he retired.
Have a great keeper now, his name is james sumthin, not sure of the surname.

Leeds did very well in the Intermediate Cup, reaching the quarter finals and were unlucky to be beaten by Wayside Celtic.

Leeds then went on to beat a very good Belgrove side up in Tolka in the first round of the FAI Cup.
As far as i know, they are thinking of moving the Longford game to the Cross but i think they wud be better off playin it in Leeds PArk as it would be much more intimidating for Longford up there.

There's a few ex LOI players on the team and i wouldnt be too surprised if they managed to cause an upset.
The only thing is, the MSL doesnt start til August so they havent been in training.
Best of luck to 'em tho!

any of the celtics.

Nor so fast Celtic is a very general term and not football related .... football clubs may cal themselves Celtic but thats not where it comes from.

They guy that founded the club .... could he not related ot anything in his area or the people of the area. He had to go to England for the name.

the title of the thread is Leeds FC. Arent they in fact called Leeds AFC? :confused:

a load of the yelverons!!!

actually i think it's spelled yelverton.
there was a motion a couple of years ago to change the club name to st. olivers after the church but it didn't get passed. i suppose when the club was started they guy couldn't imagine how much it would snowball, and he did start it for a laugh as a pub team !
and razor do you have one leg shorter than the other or a crick in ur neck cause there definetly aint no slope there kid !

That could be quite dangerous especially with it rolling down the slope. :p

No imperfections at all bud, don't even wear glasses and the few Sunday mornings spent up there weren't even after drink.
Your secrets safe with me. ;)

Having been in Leeds Park in February there certainly isn't a slope worth talking about.

Thay guy Yevloven or whatever he's called scored an amazing goal up in Morton Stadium. In injury time the Drums keeper went up into Leeds box for a corner. The corner was taken and the ball droped on the edge of the Leeds box. The left full of Leeds caught it on the volley and it travelled the whole length of the pitch and bounced once into the Drums net. Never seen a goal like it in my life. Sickner for Drums.

Ya that was Jason Yelverton. It was some goal alrite.
His brother Colin plays aswell

the leeds v's longford town match has been fixed for friday 23rd july at 7.45 in turners cross, that means we have even more space to chase after longford and the ball.

That'll be the day before City's home game v Nantes so :D

famous last words..........

I've just realised it won't. Isn't the Roy Keane Cobh Ramblers game on that Saturday?
