GROVE GO DOWN TO PORTISHEAD TOWN

Callum Townsend's first half strike ensured the table topping Town will go into Christmas at the summit of the Division One table. It also condemned the visitors to a fourth successive defeat which has seen them now drop into the bottom four following Gillingham Town's 5-2 win over Keynsham Town.

Next up for the Grove is a local derby next Saturday when they host Bristol Telephones, the game having been brought forward from Boxing Day.
