A large Grove squad ran out comfortable 62 : 0 winners against Supermarine from Swindon at Cane Lane on Saturday in a pretty one-sided affair. Grove were clearly using this game to try out a number of different players in different positions and rolling substitutions were the order of the day. Some of Grove's established 'big guns' were missing from the match which gave opportunities to various 2nd and 3rd team players to taste 1st team action. Although Supermarine had one or two promising attacks Grove dominated throughout and the Grove scorers were as follows:-
Nick Sevier (3 trys), Roger Sevier (1 try + 6 conversions), Joe Bellinger (1 try), Simon Peel (1 try), Steve Dixey (1 try), Jon Chapman (1 try), Harry Carr (1 try), Ben Law (1 try).
