Former Reading coach Bobby Wilkinson won Manager of the Season at the 2022 Football in Berkshire Awards.
Working under Brendan Rodgers and Brian McDermott at the Royals, Wilkinson has been a stalwart of Berkshire football- managing the likes of Hungerford Town and currently Bracknell Town.
Arriving in 2019, he guided the Robins to the Southern League Isthmian South-Central League championship last season and will play in the Premier Division South next campaign.
