Sam Barratt has picked up a Berkshire Football Awards nomination in the Eddie Stobart Goal of the Season category.
The Maidenhead United forward – just back from injury – scored a wonderful goal in the Vanarama National League tie with former Football League side Torquay United.
Not shy of a spectacular strike or two, this one will certainly be one for the Barratt family scrapbook and you can watch it below on the Magpies Instagram page.
The submission we received for the goal simply said: “His goal against Torquay on Saturday 30th April, under pressure, clever turn and thunderbolt of a shot.”
Do you think Sam’s goal is a worthy winner, or have you got other strikes to tell us about? Scroll down to fill out the nomination form for the Eddie Stobart Goal of the Season award.

The sort of details we love to see include things like player awards, goals, clean sheets and any other significant contributions to the footballing community – obviously within the 2023/24 season.
We’ll publish all the nominees for the Berkshire Football Awards as we receive them.
