In one of seven Division One games to beat the weather, Laney's goal sees Gillingham go level on points with the Grove in 18th place, behind them only on goals scored. And with Keynsham winning 4-0 against Cheddar yesterday, the bottom three are now closing in on the teams immediately above them as the season reaches the halfway point.
Grove are in home action next Saturday when they entertain Middlezoy Rovers at the AVB Stadium, kick off at 3.00pm.
