Ashlee Withers up for Berkshire Football Award

Ashlee Withers

Ashlee Withers is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Young Player of the Season (Female).

The nomination we received for the award said: “Teenager Ashlee has captained Maidenhead United Women’s Development in their inaugural season in the FA Women’s National League Reserve South East Division and the tenacious defender has proven a true leader as the team have graduated from an uncertain start to being a truly competitive team in their division.

“The fledgling United team had a difficult start to their first ever season, losing their opening ten FAWNL South East & Central Reserve Division matches – a difficult period illuminated by an impressive League Cup run which displayed the potential and character of the team led by Withers.

“Ashlee – who has also played successfully this season for Procision Reading and Laurel Park – scored her first ever MUWFC goal in the League Cup tie against Cheltenham and has already twice won MUWFC Development Player of the Month, selected by her coaches. Ashlee has started 16 of the team’s 19 matches so far this season, with only injury keeping her out of matches.

“Her coaches remain impressed with her dedication, her ability to motivate her team-mates, her sunny disposition and her hard-tackling style. Her reading of the game improves every week in an improving side which has – at the time of writing – won two and drawn one of their last six games.”
