Mitch Noble is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Volunteer of the Season – Junior Club.
The Bracknell Hibs volunteer and junior team manager is the first nomination for this new award in 2026.
The nomination we received for Mitch said: “Mitch Noble has been a rock for his team and his club Bracknell Hibs FC. During the pre season – one his under 13 players at the time, Othniel Adoma, unfortunately passed away after a minibus incident on the M4 carrying a group of young people to church.
“Mitch Noble supported the family raising a total of just over £9000 and also held a vigil at Birch Hill Recreation ground that had over 500 people attend, including the football team at the time. It was such a nice thing for all the team to be able to have their chance in saying bye to their team mate.”

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 2025/26 season.
We’ll publish all the nominees for the Berkshire Football Awards as we receive them.

Once the nomination window has closed, the nominations in each category will be put before a panel of over 20 judges for a decision, the top four announced online and the winners at the awards night on Wednesday 10th 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.
