The Dave Roberton Award for Outstanding Contribution to Women’s Football honors Nigel Kingston and Tony Hector. Carl Simon, Head Coach and First Team Manager, stated that Nigel Kingston and Tony Hector were deserving recipients of The David Roberton Award for their contributions to Wycombe Wanderers Women on behalf of the Trust. On a personal side, it was a wonderful honor for me to present them with this award, especially since Tony is now stepping back as we integrate with the Foundation.”

The Wycombe Sound Award:

Kine Andersen “Wycombe Sound wanted to recognize their strong association with Wycombe Wanderers Women by presenting an award to a player who contributed to a show and left an impression. As a community radio station, we viewed Wycombe Wanderers Women as an important part of our community. Kine Andersen will thus get the first Wycombe Sound broadcast community partner award. – Colin Besley
