Strikers claim monthly awards

Sam Bangoura, Lee Trundle and Karl Hawley have all won November player awards.

Sambegou Bangoura, Lee Trundle and Karl Hawley have all won Player of the Month awards for their respective divisions.

Bangoura was in superb form in The Championship in November with five goals in as many games as Stoke won three and lost two of their league matches.

"Sam came into the side when Stoke were struggling," explained chairman of the Powerade Player of the Month Awards panel Chris Kamara.

"In the space of a few weeks he has totally transformed the fortunes of the club.

"His goals record in November speaks for itself and if he carries on in this form he could soon be up there challenging The Championship's leading scorers."

Trundle's form has been so good Premiership outfit Everton are monitoring his situation and the Swansea star continued his excellent form this season through November.

The 29-year-old netted three goals in just three League One games to help Swansea stay top of the League One ladder.

"It was simply impossible to look further than Trundle for this month's award," added Kamara.

Carlisle striker Hawley bagged four goals in three games, including an impressive hat-trick against lowly Torquay back on November 12.

"Karl has been amongst the goals again in November and fully deserves his award," Kamara concluded.
