The Chipping Norton Swifts Under-13 Girls’ team has a limited number of spaces available for the 2026/27 season. We are ideally looking for players with some footballing experience.

Training currently takes place on Fridays from 5–6pm at CNS and matches are played on Saturday mornings.

On Tuesday afternoon, 6 students entertained the residents at the Beech Haven Care Home. They sang a selection of traditional carols, interspersed with solo items, ranging from Winter Wonderland to O Holy Night. It was a pleasure to be welcomed there again, and we look forward to visiting again!
