Football volunteers from across the grassroots game in South Oxfordshire, the Vale of White Horse, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire were celebrated at an awards event at the end of July.

Berks and Bucks FA's annual Grassroots Football Awards evening was held at the Royal Windsor Racecourse in Berkshire on July 25 and aimed to acknowledge and applaud the hard work of these volunteers.

The event was hosted by Fadumo Olow, a Sky Sports presenter based in Slough.

Volunteers were recognised for their contributions to the sport across 15 categories.

These ranged from Club of the Year and Coach of the Year to Impact of Football and Outstanding Contribution.

Steph Clark, football communications officer at Berks and Bucks FA, said: "Events like the annual Grassroots Football Awards are always incredibly special as they provide a wonderful opportunity for us to recognise, thank and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of our dedicated volunteer workforce."

She added: "There are thousands of people involved in the grassroots game across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and South Oxfordshire who dedicate their time and effort to support clubs and leagues in their local communities to ensure grassroots football in our region goes ahead week in and week out.

"To be nominated for an award alone is a wonderful achievement, to be a shortlisted finalist or category winner is certainly cause for celebration and something everyone can be incredibly proud of - congratulations."
