         Morley Town 3 - Leeds FC 7

Leeds Futsal Arena                                                                             26 February 2015

Leeds' first game of the new league was a win against last season's runners up Morley Town.
 
Two players debuted  for Leeds - Laurence Hayes and Tom Mckenna. Whilst Hayes had played futsal as a junior McKenna was a novice. 
 
A defensive mix up led to an opening goal from a set piece for Morley. Rob Oxley got one back and then another to lead 1-2. Then Leeds conceded a penalty (the incident was not caught on camera) to bring the score back to 2 -2.
 
Tom Rawson was on the end of a well worked pass from Oxley to make it  2-3  just before half time.
 
In the second half a wayward pass gave Morley the chance to equalise again. But there after Leeds began to take control. Hayes got a debut goal followed by and individual effort from Mulavdic. Rawson got two more to earn a first league hat trick.
 
For a team with debutants this was a good performance. Some work on defence and team shape  will be needed going forward but there are early signs that this could be a good season for Leeds. 
 
TEAM - GK - Masood Khalighi, Laurence Hayes, Tom McKenna, Dino Mulavdic, Rob Oxley, Tom Rawson. 

         Leeds FC 7 - Olde Red Lion 3

Leeds Futsal Arena                                                                                   5 March 2015

 
 
 
 
 
 
Another win with a familiar score line. 
 
Leeds saw the return of old boy Joe Dixon who was able to contribure well by getting on the score sheet.
 
Due to Khalighi's illness outfielder Michael Rawson donned the goalkeeper's shirt to put in a sterling performance.
 
At time Leeds dominated posession with little to show for their efforts,
 
Work on defence and team shape  still required but with new players arriving these have been the difficult areas in which to aceive consistency, But, nevertheless, Leeds are still a difficult team to beat.
 
TEAM - GK - Michael Rawson, Joe Dixon Laurence Hayes, Tom McKenna, Dino Mulavdic, Rob Oxley, Tom Rawson. 

         Leeds FC 6 - Hyde Park & Woodhouse 5

Leeds Futsal Arena                                                                                  12 March 2015

 
 
This was a game that was much closer than it should have been against a team with two ex-Leeds players - Goalkeeper John Davison and Josh Forden.
 
By half time the team was leading 2 -0 with goals from Michael & Tom Rawson respectively. Early in the second this became 3-0 with another from T Rawson. Then the wheels began to come off. A debatable mid-air contest with Khalighi saw Hyde Park claw one back and two more goals saw the score become level at 3-3.
 
After that Leeds edged back to 6 -3 with goals from T Rawson, Oxley and Mulavdic. But they conceded two more goals before the final whistle blew.
 
As before good attacking skills but poor defensive positioning.
 
TEAM - GK - Masood Khalighi, Michael Rawson, Laurence Hayes, Dino Mulavdic, Rob Oxley, Tom Rawson. 

         Leeds FC 4 - Tyskie FC 4

Leeds Futsal Arena                                                                                   19 March 2015

 
 
This was always going to be a tight game against the League Champions and it proved to be so. Plus the Arena had re configured the pitch so that there was insufficient room for proper camera work. Thus the restricted view meant that some of the goals were not clearly captured.
 
Tyskie took the lead but by half time with goals from Dixon and returning Leeds FC player Nick Black, Leeds led 2-1. 
 
Leeds seemed susceptible to the long shot and Tyskie took the score to 2-3. Dixon got another and again Tyskie moved the score to 3-4. Dixon got his hat-trick and made the score 4-4. A frantic last few minutes left the ball peppering both ends but bringing nothing worth keeping in the highlights.
 
The best team performance going forward but possibly some of the worst defending! 
 
TEAM - GK - Masood Khalighi, Laurence Hayes, Dino Mulavdic, Rob Oxley, Tom Rawson, Tom McKenna, Joe Dixon, Nick Black. 

         Leeds FC 3 - Meanwood FC 4

Leeds Futsal Arena                                                                                  26 March 2015

 
 
Due to holidays and other commitments Leeds were without Oxley, Dixon, Hayes and Black. This left the remaining five with alot of work to do. Unfortunately the addition of two guest players from the previous arena fixture only assisted to give players a sub -break and not add to the team performance.
 
Leeds did start brightly with 2 goals from Michael Rawson and then Tom Rawson to lead 2-0. However with some defensive frailty this was overturned to 2-3 by Meanwood.
 
Rawson M added another to level at 3-3 and it was either teams game until Meanwood hit  a shot through a crowd of players and with a drifting Meanwood player making a better door than a window, an unsighted Khalighi could do little to prevent a goal.
 
 
TEAM - GK - Masood Khalighi, Michael Rawson, Tom Rawson, Dino Mulavdic, Tom McKenna
