YOUNG PLAYER (FEMALE)
Sponsor Procision Football Academy
Cherry Preisner is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Young Player of the Season (Female) sponsored by Procision Football Academy.
The stopper played 17 times for Reading last season and was the star of several cup penalty shoot-out wins, including a County Cup tie in front of hundreds of spectators against Caversham United.
One nomination for the award said: “Cherry is one of the most talented goalkeepers I have ever played with and that’s without taking into account her age! I cannot still to this day believe she’s only 16. She has saved us this season and all of us appreciate everything she has done. Cherry will go far in football and life there is no doubt about it. Her attributes to the game are unmatched and I’m so proud of how far she has come, everything she has achieved, and everything she will achieve. I think she truly deserves this award for Young Player of the Season because she is Young Player of the Season! Not to mention she also saves penalties for fun.”
Another added: “At just 16 years old, Cherry embarked on her first season in women’s football as the Reading FC Women’s number one. She has been a shining light in what has been a very difficult season for the team. Her performances have been nothing short of incredible and way beyond her years. She was the team’s hero in cup competitions, saving four penalties in four shootouts.”

Scroll down to the bottom of this article for the nomination form. Before you do that though, here’s what the judging panel are looking for when choosing the shortlist.
What’s the story? Tell us exactly why the person or place should be considered. We hate to get all ‘X Factor journey’ on you but the more detail you can include, the better we can argue for your nominee for the short list.
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 2024/25 season.
We’ll publish all the nominees for the Berkshire Football Awards as we receive them.
You can view all the 2025 nominees so far here.

Once the nomination window has closed, the nominations in each category will be put before a panel of judges for a decision, the top four announced online and the winners at the awards night on Wednesday 18th June.
We will accept nominations for people out of area, the only prerequisite is that the reason for nomination is that it must be because of an affiliation with a club we cover on Football in Berkshire (a full list is at the bottom of this page). We will present certificates and a trophy to the winners.
