Originally formed in 1976 by John Grey as Woodhill Boys Club, they run youth football teams from under-8 to under-21 level. The decision was taken to set up a Junior section in early 2010 with the aim of allowing ex-youth players to remain in the game at a decent standard and the club joined the Central District Second Division for the start of the 2011–12 season[1] The club are based at Huntershill in Bishopbriggs however the Junior team are initially groundsharing with Petershill.

Rossvale clinched their first Junior honour in March 2015 by winning the 2014–15 Central District Second Division title. A notable player in their victorious squad was former Aberdeen and Scotland striker Robbie Winters.[2]
