Swifts

Over the last century or so Swifts have enjoyed frequent premiership success in four different competitions. Since 2000 they have competed in the Horsham District Football League in which their second and most recent flag came in 2014 after a 15.5 (95) to 10.6 (66) grand final defeat of a previously unbeaten Laharum side. Subsequent seasons have seen them finish sixth (2015), eighth (2016), fourth (2017) and fifth (2018).
