Orchardville DFC expanded further with the foundation of Orchardville Lisburn DFC in March 2025. The Lisburn team started off with a small but dedicated squad of players, drawn mostly from the Men’s Shed with a few additional members joining from The Next Steps group.
The squad displayed a strong work ethic, commitment and a willingness to learn together as they entered their first ever competitive football tournament, the George Best Cup in June 2025. The team performed above expectations as they recorded a competitive victory with a 2-0 win in the group stages. In the interim, the squad has grown from 9-15 players, and continues to expand. The Lisburn team spearheaded the foundation of the Orchardville Inclusion Cup in September 2025, and are now well on course to compete in the IFA’s 2025/26 edition of their inclusivity league.
