*Come and be our 16th man this Saturday for our opening double header of home fixtures!*

GW3 - Counties 1 Tribute Southern North

Grove RFC 1st XV Vs Milton Keynes RFC 1st XV
Kick off 15:00

After a disappointing losing result for Grove 1st XV away to Windsor last Saturday. They are now looking to continue to build on the momentum gained in the 2nd half as they spirited a comeback to close the gap on the scoreboard and narrowly missing out on a losing bonus point.

We welcome Milton Keynes to Cane Lane for our opening home fixture of the season, who have had a mixed start to this season. With an opening day defeat away to Buckingham, followed by a home victory against Chinnor Wildboys. As the table stands Grove and Milton Keynes are on equal points in 4th and 5th. This has all the ingredients to be a really tough and competitive fixture! A huge opportunity to Grove to stamp a mark to the league of making Cane Lane a fortress for teams to come to!

GW3 - Counties 4 Tribute Berks, Bucks & Oxon North

Grove RFC 2nd XV Vs Gosford All Blacks 2nd XV
Kick off 15:00

Our 2nd XV kick off this season with an opening fixture against Gosford All Black’s 2nd XV, in a season where promotion is the top priority. This fixture will hopefully show all the hard work that has been put in throughout pre-season!

Keep your eye out for the starting XV’s for both sides to be announced on Friday!!

Post Game Club Social
RWC Home Nation Matches & Ibiza Night

To finish off this double header day, we have 2 home nation fixtures to look forward to, both being shown at the club. Wales Vs Portugal & Ireland Vs Tonga. Followed by a club social event that sees DJ Arron Sutton bring us an Ibiza Dance night from 10-12pm!

Parking will be tight as there are 2 rugby and 1 football fixture on Saturday. Please be courteous and make sure we don’t block the emergency gate!

See you all there!
