Welcome to Football in Berkshire, a site dedicated to all things football in the Royal County of Berkshire. From fixtures across the county to reports, interviews and club features as well as deep dives into Berkshire Internationals and forgotten histories.
Berkshire has a thriving men’s Non-League and women’s football scene, with men’s teams in the National League down to the Thames Valley Premier League and women’s teams from the FA Women’s National League to the Thames Valley Counties Women’s Football League – all with one thing in common, serving their communities.
Crucially, Football in Berkshire non-profit making and is led and run by dedicated volunteers.

Who runs Football in Berkshire?
Football in Berkshire was setup by Darrell Freeland and Tom Canning.
Better known as TC and Dudley, the pair spent nearly 10 years running and contributing to bracknelltownfc.com before striking out on their own, covering Football in Bracknell and the surrounding areas. The remit widened and name updated in 2019 to cover Football in Berkshire
Duds sadly passed away in 2019 and the site is now run in his memory, devoted to supporting the non-league game, just like he did.
A full list of site editors and contributors can be found here.
Darrell Freeland & Tom Canning
Darrell was a hugely experienced former club secretary with a VAST knowledge of the local game and contact book to match. He knew the rule books inside out and followed football in Bracknell for over 20 years.
Tom has been watching non-league football since the age of 12 and is experienced in digital and social media. Tom watches games at all levels while travelling with work and has played locally at a (very) low standard. He now manages Binfield Ladies.
Not for profit
Football in Berkshire strictly not for profit. Any advertising you see on the site goes toward paying for web servers, digital infrastructure and the odd cup of tea on a cold Tuesday night in Burnham. Any left over money at the end of the season goes toward the fantastic Berkshire Football Awards.
We always pay our own entry fee’s when we go to games, we know from experience how important this is. That said, we have accepted the odd freebie when the County FA have been kind enough to offer.
