Origins and youth structure When Retford United was formed in 1987 it consisted of a senior team in the Gainsborough & District League and an under 10 youth team. Looking forward the aim was to get the senior team climbing the football league pyramid, and at youth level add a new team at the youngest age group until the club was competing at every level up to the seniors. Also girls football was introduced in the later years and still continues. The first-ever youth games were played on the Jenkins Sports Ground on Thrumpton Lane. The Junior Section of the club now operate independently at Oaklands as Retford United Junior F.C. The first senior games were played on the council-owned Goosemoor for a short period before moving to Oaklands and eventually to Cannon Park on Leverton Road at the start of the new millennium.
