SWINDON entertain Grove this weekend in the first of two fixtures re-arranged due to the weather.

Grove are currently nipping at Swindon's heels in fourth position in the league, only one point behind, and have been having some good results against the division's top sides.

They even managed, with home advantage, to beat Beaconsfield, who have been squeezed out of their top position. Windsor have taken over the top spot on points difference after beating Beaconsfield 8-3 at home.

Swindon still have games in hand over Grove, Beaconsfield and Windsor.

The club is now investigating the possibility of borrowing a spare pitch in order to be able to play the rescheduled matches should the weather cause more problems with their own pitches at Greenbridge.
