At Northwich Victoria Football Club, we are proud to be part of the vibrant community sports club industry, which plays a pivotal role in promoting physical activity, community engagement, and local pride. Community sports clubs are essential in fostering social cohesion and providing opportunities for individuals of all ages to engage in sporting activities. As we prepare to launch our newly re-organised club, we recognise the increasing importance of such organisations in today’s society, particularly in light of the growing emphasis on health and well-being.

The Northwich Vixens as a result of the merger have renamed themselves the Northwich Victoria Vixens and Rebecca Jones had the following to say: “I’m so excited for everyone involved in Northwich Victoria and now that we are one club we have a clear development pathway in place for our girls’ teams to progress to our open age woman’s team and the boys to our men’s first team. This togetherness gives our club a real community focus and I am so proud to be involved and to help our club grow from strength to strength”
