King’s birthday honours 2024: Referee Cheryl Foster appointed MBE

Foster also now helps the Football Association of Wales (FAW) in its recruitment drive for more women and, despite her full-time job as a teacher and active referee, she gives up her time to be available for the FAW’s women-only referee course and to act as leader, mentor and coach to the newly qualified officials.

Her glittering refereeing career followed a successful playing stint which started at Bangor City Ladies team in the Welsh system.

Foster joined Liverpool, where she won three league titles and scored the club’s first goal in the Women’s Super League (WSL).

She also won 63 Wales caps between 1997 and 2011, which was a record at the time.

Ian Martin, from Mold, was appointed an MBE for services to sport and charity, while Neath hockey club chair Derek Salisbury received the same accolade for services to hockey in south Wales.

British Empire Medals (BEM) were received by Barrie Jenkins, the vice-chair and head coach for Cardiff Chameleons, for services to bowls in Wales and Mark Portsmouth for his services to sport in Mumbles, Swansea.
