With the dust now settled on last season, it gives us the opportunity to say goodbye and thank you to three of our coaches who have hung up their coaches whistles.

Paddy Timms took his team from U8-U15 and during his time he always remained a positive influence on his players and those around him.

Tom Poole took his team from U7-U13 and was a strong advocate of fair play and fair time for all the squad on the pitch. Tom hands over to Brad Payne for next season.

Steve Butcher was with the club for 3 years and brought lots of experience with him having been part of Tower Hill and the Oxford Girls League for 20 years. A real grassroots warrior. Steve hands over to Martyn Walsh for next season.

We love this photo of Steve with his son and granddaughter during his final outing for Swifts at a recent tournament.

Thank you to all three for their big contributions to grassroots and the expansion of youth football in Chipping Norton.
