Leeds were without 2nd years McCann and Baxendale and included two trialists in the starting line up besides Ian Snodins son Jordan.

Monty Gimple is a german born centre back and was player of the year for the FA Independent Schools in 2009 (Don't ask)

Leeds appeared to start with a 4-4-1-1 with Poleon up top and Payne behind him.

The first 20 mins were garbage with long balls punted up to the smallish Poleon, the Scunny centre backs must have thought Xmas had come early.

6 mins Poleon shot over

20 Poleon had a shot blocked, Turner's follow up shot was deflected into the net by POLEON 1-0

23 N.Turner shot wide

30 POLEON shot underneath the keeper 2-0

36 Snodin twists and turns past 4 players before crossing to Poleon who slashes into thin air trying to  turn and hit the ball

39 Snodin's run and shot hits a Scunny defenders hand, unlucky not to be given a penalty.

41 Cairns reacts quickly to get down low to his left to save at the foot of the post

45+1 Taylor has an excellent run down the left wing, crosses to the back post, Payne scoops the ball over the crossbar

47 Taylor's run down the left, bought down on the edge of the box, fre kick. Birbeck free kick curled too near the keeper, comfortable save.

48 Poleon slices a shot very wide

60 Cairns makes a good save

61 Poleon shot deflected for a corner

69 Dollery shot tipped over the bar by Scunny keeper

71 Payne shot hits the crossbar

73 Scare for Leeds as a Scunny shot fizzes over the bar

78 sub 7 Dollery replaced by 16 Byram

83 sub 11 Birbeck replaced by 17 Lenighan

86 POLEON'S persistance saw him get his hatrick, after nibbling away, chasing the ball and finally getting a shot underneath the keeper

90 Booker shot wide

90+2 Byram curled a shot over the bar

Leeds looked a better side when they played the ball on the floor.

Gimple looked composed on the ball and Jordan Snodin had a very good game in the middle of the park
