The Long List for the 2024 Berkshire Football Awards is ready!
Football in Berkshire’s judging panel will be busy this week turning it into a Short List (and if you’d like to be among the first to know about it you’ll need to subscribe to our newsletter here) which will be released around 2pm on Friday 31st May.
So why a Long List? While not everyone can make the Short List, we wanted to make sure people knew they’d been thought of, so we’ve published every name below in each category they were nominated.
The Short List, when it is released, will see four nominees in each category and those will go forward to the awards night at Double Barrelled Brewery in Reading on Wednesday 19th June.
Please note, the Long List is presented as is. Age and eligibility checks will take place before publication of the Short List. We did not want any nominee to be excluded from the Long List.
One final thing, we know a lot of you love to screenshot the list and share it on your social platforms, this is brilliant but we’d just ask if you could include a link back to this original article when you do. Thank you!
