Award Winners

December 2008	Sean Crowie	Under 11 A	He has just scored his 100th Goal for the club. Exemplifies the behaviour I and we as a Club should expect. Has a great attitude no matter what is put before him, never put off and adapted to the positions we have put him in. He also never questions the managers and gives it 110% all of the time, even when the rest of the Team may be a little lacklustre. His work rate really is second to none and his attitude cannot be faulted.
November 2008	Nii Nortei Nortey	Under 14 A	He is in his 2nd season with Pitshanger and has progressed through to the A Team, where he is a strong and quick central or wide midfield player. He has been nominated because he has been selected for both the Ealing District and Middlesex County Schools FA teams. He played for Middlesex on 18th October and, despite playing in an unfamiliar left back position, won man of the match award as his team won 5-2.
October 2008	Lewis Harris	Under 15 A	Lewis trained with us for a season but was kept out of the team by our regular keeper. He was on the verge of giving up when the call came to be our first choice goalie. To be honest Lewis didn't give us confidence with some of his performances at the start but throughout last season developed his goalkeeping and appeared to relax as a person. This season has seen a transformation as Lewis has worked hard at his physique and has increased his athletic and goalkeeping ability so that the players and supporters have noticed. We are so pleased that he stuck at it and that we kept the faith as Lewis is now a real asset to the team with a great attitude and commitment, as well as some fine all round goalkeeping skills.
September 2008	Liam Cottrell	Under 13 A	Liam is a member of the very successful U13A squad but is equally a very good tennis player. On Sunday 5 October, Liam won the Road to Dubai tournament at Will to Win in Ealing for U13/ U15's from across all W2W clubs in London. As a result, he is now two matches away from qualifying and competing in an international youth tournament in Dubai in Spring 2009. Even if he doesn't qualify this is an outstanding achievement as he was competing against boys 2 years older than him.
August 2008	Rohan Dey	Under 16 B	Rohan is about to go on his second charity run. The run is called the Chipperfield Run, 13.5 miles long, to raise money for Breakspeare School in Abbots Langley.

September 2007	Lauren Vaux	Under 14	For nearly three years, Lauren has been helping with the coaching of the current U13 training-only group. Initially, she helped her step-sister with this, but now coaches them on her own. This group of boys are of mixed footballing ability and commitment, so it can be hard to organise sessions that meets all their needs. Lauren is very reliable and helps for 2 hours every Saturday. The boys respect her, and she is not afraid to show them who is boss! She also recommends the better players to the B Team squad so assists with their development. On a number of occasions, she has organised specialist training for the U13 A and B keepers, as she herself is a keeper with Brentford FC and Hanwell Town.
August 2007	Nicholas Schmale	Under 12	He has shown good sportsmanship, always helping an opposing player to his feet , if a tackle was mistimed, and at training always has time to help explain things to boys who are not sure what is required.
July 2007	Aashish Kharas	Under 11	After having landed the Players' Player award and having just missed out (by 2 goals) as Golden Boot, Aashish shone in the team's 4 summer tournaments.

This is partially due to his comittment to Athletics for during the season Mark has been transformed into a top class cross-country runner for his age group. Mark has appeared for his School, Borough and County at many cross country events, including the National event in Sunderland, and has risen up the ranks during that time. He took part in the London Half Marathon in April this year.

Many of the boys have improved considerably in recent months and have benefited from the coaching that she gives. Lauren also coaches our League squad keepers (Lauren is a keeper for Spurs Ladies).
March 2007	Daniel Kloss	Under 17	Daniel was nominated by Chris Waldock. Chris commented that Daniel is  "an outstanding example of what commitment to football really means. I don't for a moment believe there are many others of his age who play and are also a qualified referee as well as a coach".
