The Grove opened the new season with a draw at home to Carlton Sports. Winning the toss and putting the visitors in to bat Carlton made a steady start before Paul Hartley took the first Grove wicket as he produced figures of 8-4-7-1. From here though, the batsmen continued to dominate and ended the innings on 160 for 5 with Liam Hammond picking up 2 for 38. Colin Bruin 52 and Mark Hammond put on 45 for the first Grove wicket and when Mohammed was run out for 32 The Grove still handily placed on 93 for 2. From here though the game petered out into a draw as the Innings closed on 116 for 6.

The Grove managed only their second outing in five for the season due to weather and had to settle for a draw  at their visit to Gateway. Tony Pope 53 and Norman Winterman 28 put on 52 for the opening wicket but from there the runs started to dry up and it was down to John Steel with an unbeaten 27 to steer them through to 142 all out. The opposition had the game delicately poised at 130 for 5 needing 13 off the final two overs. A fine final over from Mohammed conceded just 2 runs as they finished 6 runs short of victory.

A middle order collapse saw The Grove slump to 108 all out as they went down by 79 runs to Old Brockleans. Only Norman Winterman 24 and Wasim 22no, made any real impact. Earlier Brocks made 187 for 6 with Wasim returning figures of 3 for 26 and was the pick of the visitors bowlers

The Grove batted first and put on 110 for the first wicket with Norm Winterman hitting an impressive 90. Mark Fiore and Alan Burgess also contributed with 23 and 25 respectively. Liam Hammond picked up 3 for 15 as the Wilmington chase petered out to a draw at 130 for 6.

The Grove finally chalked up their first win of the season with a 3 wicket win in a low scoring encounter away at Petts Wood. The home side electing to bat first found conditions difficult on a pitch of variable bounce as they were dismissed for 122 with Mohammed  claiming 3 for 22. The Grove faired little better and were struggling at 54 for 5, despite a quick 27 from Norman Winterman, when a 6th wicket stand of 50 from Mohammed 39 and Pope 20no proved to be the turning point in the game as we eventually reached 123 for 7 with an over to spare.

The Grove were thwarted in their fixture at Bexley Park as the rain constantly stopped play. With the game eventually reduced to 25 overs a side a further downpour after tea finally ended proceedings with Bexley on 115 for4 after 21 overs.

The rain came again and caused yet another abandonment as the Grove chased 167 for the win in a 40 over game. Wasim had taken 3 for 17 in a fine spell and the Grove were handily placed at 70 for 4 when the heavens opened and ended the days play.

The Grove produced their best display of the season as they defeated Bexleyheath by 57 runs at Park View Road. Winning the toss and batting first the visitors soon found themselves in trouble as they slumped to 20 for 3. The game turned with a 4th wicket partnership of 140 between Alan Burgess 65 and Colin Bruin 54, with Alan Burgess hitting two sixes, one of which was deposited on the football club stand next door to the ground. John Steel followed up with a hard hitting 31no including one mighty six that cleared the ground and the passing 96 bus. A late flurry from Mohammed 20 saw the innings close on 227 for 6. Heath started their reply in steady fashion but with wickets falling regularly and none of their batsmen able to tame the Grove's bowling attack they were bowled out for 170 with two wickets apiece for Mohammed, Carroll,
Winterman and Hartley.

The Grove chalked up a second successive victory as they defeated Wilmington at home by 6 wickets. With Wilmington put into bat on a green wicket they slumped to 11 for 2 before some hard hitting pulled them through to 163. Both Tony Pope and Mohammed returned figures of 3 for 50 with Mark Fiore and Bobby Start picking up 2 for 33 and 2 for 27 respectively. Alan Burgess 33 and Jason Cross 21 added 62 in reply for the second Grove wicket and put the home team in to a winning position. Shane Carroll added a quick fire 25 and with Tony Pope unbeaten on 43 the Grove finished on 164 for 6 with nine balls to spare.

The Grove were forced to dig deep early in order to secure a five wicket win away to Nuxley. The Grove were 11 for 2 when a third wicket partnership of 44 between Colin Bruin (18) and Shane Carroll (32) got the innings back on track. Mohammed (24no) and  Norm Winterman (18no) took over to guide the Grove through to 108 for 5 in reply to Nuxley's 107 all out. Alan Burgess (3 for 15) and Mark Fiore (3 for 38) ripped out the middle order as Nuxley collapsed from 67 for 1. Winterman and Mohammed also took two wickets a piece as Nuxley were sent reeling.

The Grove picked up their fourth win on the spin and completed a 100% winning run for July as they defeated Old Dartechs by 6 wickets. Mohammed claimed the visitors first four  wickets in a spell of 4 for 29 from which they never recovered as they slumped from  51 for 5 to 70 all out. Peter Mayhew, on his return to the side, made 24 and along with Liam Hammond 28no helped the Grove through to 73 for 4 off just 18 overs.

The Grove chalked up a fifth win in a row with a comfortable victory at home to Old Colfeans. Batting first The Grove eased their way to 221 for six thanks largely to an unbeaten 81 from Tony Pope. Contributions from Colin Bruin (20) Norm Winterman (33) Shane Carroll (28) and Mark Hammond (22) underlined The Groves 2004 batting strength. Mohammed, Mark Fiore, Bobby Start & Richard Baker put a strangle hold on the oppositions batting, picking up one wicket a piece as they never allowed Old Colfs to get going ending their innings tamely on 176 for 6 in the 40 overs a side match.

The Grove failed to build on their early initiative and they had to settle for a draw in their home fixture against Hextable. Colin Bruin 50 and Peter Mayhew 41 got the innings off to a flying start adding 80 for the first wicket before both fell to stumpings. 20 from Mark Fiore and an unbeaten 25 from Mark Hammond saw them through to 188 for 7 at tea. Hextable made steady progress before the introduction of Alan Burgess in to the attack taking 5 for 8off his 6 overs. Despite the regular rotation of the bowling attack the Innings closed on 100 for 7.

The Grove could only muster a draw as they played second fiddle on their travels at Farningham. The home side took full advantage of some wayward bowling and inept fielding as they helped themselves to 255 for 3 at tea. In reply The Grove openers added 55 for the first wicket before Hammond was first to go for 27. Colin Bruin continued to take up the challenge hitting an unbeaten 92 and with Paul Hartley 22no put on 80 for the fifth wicket as they reached 202 for 4 at stumps.

The Grove chalked up a comfortable 111 run victory as they overcame the challenge of a young Eynsford team at the Riverside. In a 35 over a side game Norman Winterman 39 and Colin Bruin 33 put on 77 for the opening wicket before both fell. Shane Carroll hit a quick fire 43, well supported by Alan Burgess 29,to finish on 188 for 5 Liam Hammond returned figures of 3 for 23 and with Mark Fiore picking up 3 for 35 at the other end the innings collapsed to 77 all out.

The Grove chalked up yet another win thanks a spirited performance from their bowlers as they restricted Montrose Park to 153 for 9 off 40 overs. The home teams batting struggled to make a major impact with Mark Fiore (2 for 24) and Mohammed (2 for 28) both off 8 overs being the pick of the Grove's attack. Tony Pope and Colin Bruin (41) opened the reply for The Grove adding 81 off the first 20 overs. Pope remained resilient at the crease and carried his bat to the end for a well earned (61 no), and along with Mark Fiore (20 no) secured a seven wicket victory with 4.5 overs to spare.

The Grove were frustrated in their efforts to force victory as a very week Irving shut up shop before their innings even started. After their cheating batsman who didn't walk last year they dropped two senior batsmen down the order in a unsporting move to play for the draw from ball one. The Grove bowled and fielded extremely well and it was a moral victory as the Irving innings ended on 116 for 8. Mohammed and Fiore pick up 3 for 40 and 3 for 26 respectively. Earlier the home side looked to be heading
for a big score after Winterman 49 Bruin 37 and Fiore 20, had them handily placed at 131 for 3, but a rare Grove collapse saw them crash to 160 all out.

On a pitch that favoured the bowlers The Grove left it until the penultimate ball of the game to secure a 3 wicket over Old Pilotonians. With the visitors put in to bat they felt the going tough as Tony Pope with 5 for 5 helped reduce them to 99 all out. The Grove reply showed as many weaknesses as they slumped to 13 for 4 before a fifth partnership of 30 between Desmond Hewagama 23 and Tony Pope put their side back on track. Pope completed his unbeaten 50 with a boundary as the Grove got home with three wickets in hand.

The Grove suffered only their second loss of a very successful season. Weakened by the loss of some regulars it proved one game too many for the visitors as they went down by 158 runs. Carroll took 3 for 54 and Bruin, Hartley & extras with 21 a piece were the only contributions with the bat.
