First team matches were played at Norfolk Park with Maryfield being used as a regular training venue. The club was accepted into membership of the Southern Counties Football Association and inherited the Dumfries F.C. South of Scotland Football League membership. New (but temporary) changing facilities at Maryfield were opened in May 2008, by former Scotland manager Craig Brown, bringing the ground up to South of Scotland Football League standards. The adult team moved to Maryfield in August 2010. Rovers reached the final of the 2010–11 Tweedie Cup but lost 3–6 to Stranraer. Heston became a registered Scottish Charity in November 2011, the first club in the region to make this move. They were also the first non professional club in Dumfries and Galloway to receive the Scottish FA's Quality Mark award in October 2008, which was upgraded in December 2012 to 'community club' level at an awards ceremony at Hampden Park. Long serving chairman, Scott McGill retired in May 2013, after eleven successful years as chair, and was replaced by Alan Watson. In the same year, the club left their Maryfield ground to share Palmerston Park with Queen of the South. In season 2013–14 the senior team won their first silverware in the South League when they won the Potts Cup and the Cree Lodge Cup.
