Connor McNeish is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Clive McNelly Volunteer of the Season sponsored by Supporters Trust at Reading.
Slough Town have had a level of consistency off the pitch and online this season and it would appear one young man is shouldering much of that responsibility.
One nomination for the award said: “Connor originally took some convincing to join the media team at Slough Town, he needed to be pushed into the radio hot seat. As his confidence grew, he took on more roles and learned more skills. This season has seen him run the Matchday social media, often whilst still doing live commentary. His after match interviews are excellent including having to ask difficult questions. He has taken on more responsibility and his media coverage of Josh Jackman’s 300 games is outstanding.”
Another added: “Connor has been an integral part of the Slough Town media team for the past two seasons, taking on increasing responsibilities and demonstrating exceptional commitment. This season, he has expanded his role to include greater management of social media, while continuing to provide commentary for every Slough Town men’s first team game on Rebels Radio. Often, Connor has expertly balanced the dual demands of broadcasting and live social media updates single-handedly.
“His contributions have garnered widespread praise from players, managers, and opposing media teams, with consistent recognition for his professionalism, efforts, and hospitality at both home and away games. Connor has firmly established himself as a cornerstone of the club’s online presence. Beyond his radio commentary, he coordinates the media team for broadcasts, conducts post-match interviews with Scott Davies and players, and even dedicates additional time to gather media insights during training sessions.
“Connor’s dedication to his role, his teammates, and the club is truly exemplary. He embodies the essence of non-league football through his passion for the club, unwavering commitment, and his ability to unite efforts within and outside the organization. His work not only elevates Slough Town’s reputation but also reflects the outstanding individual he is.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have Connor as part of our club.”
