The fonaCAB Development League currently has 60 teams consisting of both boys and girls and provides an inclusive grassroots development program for all kids of mixed abilities from the ages of 4 to 7.

The 2018’s Orangefield OB Junior Team has, this year, been reformed after a long period of time without a junior side, which provides a much-needed boost to the local community and the club as a whole.

Games are played in a 4v4 format with no goalkeepers, and the focus is on development and ensuring that the children enjoy the games.

Orangefield Juniors 2018’s are back in action this weekend in the Fonacab development league as they take on Magherafelt 2018’s.

The new kit had its first outing on Saturday 7^th September 2024 against Shankill Juniors

In 2014, GEOTEC Surveys Ltd provided kit sponsorship to Milford Green FC who held onto the kit for almost 10 years!
