Mark Bradley is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Clive McNelly Volunteer of the Season sponsored by Supporters Trust at Reading.
2025 promises to be another highly competitive year for this award!
The nomination we received for the Volunteer of the Year award said: “It’s a real pleasure to write this here and recognize someone who truly embodies the spirit of Cookham. Our vote for the Volunteer of the Season award goes to a person who’s not just been a helping hand, but the heartbeat behind so many things that keep this place running smoothly.
“Mark Bradley – our brilliant Club Secretary – who has been with us for about seven years now, and in that time, he’s become absolutely indispensable. He’s the kind of person who steps up before anyone even asks. From managing the Under 13s with commitment and care, to handling the endless behind-the-scenes admin work that keeps our teams ticking, Mark gives his all.
“But it doesn’t stop there. If you’ve ever grabbed a drink at the bar after a game, Mark’s probably been the one pulling pints. If you’ve played on a decent pitch, he’s likely had a hand in keeping it that way. And if the changing rooms are looking freshly painted? Yep – that’s Mark too.
“He’s first in, last out, and never asks for thanks – which is exactly why he deserves it all the more.
“Mark, on behalf of everyone at Cookham, thank you for everything you do. Your time, your energy, your passion for this club – it doesn’t go unnoticed.”
