Club Notes
Grove started life in the Swindon & District League at the back end of the 1980’s. Whilst they did not win any honours they were usually challenging in their division at the time and the closest they went was in Season 1989-90 when they were involved in a battle for the Division 1 title with Sundstrand, losing a title decider against Sundstrand 3-1 on the penultimate Saturday of the season.

Grove joined the Wiltshire Football League in Season 1991-92 and adapted well, winning more games than they lost to finish in a creditable fifth place finish, although some way adrift of the promotion positions. They had a similar season in 1992-93 and would have again finished in fifth place if it had not been for a one-point deduction for rule infringements.

Grove’s third season in the league saw Division 4 expand to 17 teams and whilst Grove almost won as many as they lost they slipped to 11th place in the table and withdrew from the league at the end of the season.
