The FA Community awards, presented by McDonalds, aim to recognise and reward people across the country who make a difference to grass-roots football in their local community.
Junior Reds FC were particularly honoured when Andrew Wood was nominated by the London FA for an ‘Outstanding Contribution to Community Football Award. Andy works behind the scenes in the Club with a long list of roles including Assistant Secretary, Kit Manager, Charter Standard Officer, Coach Education Co-ordinator and Match Day Ambassador. Andy also takes on the challenge of organising the Presentation – a huge task.
Andy attended the FA Community Shield match on the 7th August at Wembley Stadium as a special guest of the Football Association. His role and the Club were recognised at the Award ceremony. The ultimate winner of the national award was Andrew Martin from the East Riding FA.

Congratulations Andy, very well deserved wishes from all at the club.
