A football team for girls in the News Scot community is helping young people to get fit and make friends. The Swans FC was originally based in Kilwinning and was started to help a group of girls work towards Duke of Edinburgh Awards. The football team, made up of mainly Afghan and Syrian girls aged from nine upwards, now meets at The Circuit in Irvine and coaches from North Ayrshire Council put them through their paces on the 3G pitches.
