Westside Football Club Scholarship Trust

In 2006-2007, Westside Football Club raised seed money to establish a modest trust fund. The income is used to disburse scholarships to help young athletes with the cost of post secondary education.

 

Mike Pettingale Memorial Scholarship
An inaugural scholarship honours stalwart Westside supporter Mike Pettingale and is awarded annually to a soccer player enrolled in a full time university or college program who has made a significant contribution to sport in their community by way of playing, coaching, managing and/or supporting.

Who Was Mike Pettingale?
Mike Pettingale was one of Westside's all time most avid supporters. He had a club wide fan mentality ... and for two decades supported all of Westside and everything that the club brought to the lives of its members. He contributed to the atmosphere of the club, and particularly along the sidelines. Never happier than when he was at a match, he loved seeing his friends, the coaches & managers,  the players and the other supporters and the referees. He loved to join in the banter and made many a friend at pitches all over. (Before the Internet, you needed to ask Mike if you wanted to know how all the other Westside teams were doing that day. ;-) 
We miss his smiling face on the sidelines. Mike passed away in 2006. 

The inaugural Mike Pettingale Memorial Scholarship will be awarded in 2008 in the amount of $500.
