Congratulations to all of our 2026 Award Winners! Your commitment, effort and contribution throughout the season is something to be proud of.

A special thank you to our referees, who do an amazing job supporting Senior Football in Marlborough and provide referees for the majority of our games each week.

Our referees continue to be a real strength of our local football community, and is thanks to the commitment of Martin Fenwick, Craig Smart, Geoff Talbot and their team of referees. The referee group continues to grow each season, which is fantastic to see and a real credit to the work they are putting in.
