The home side pulled a goal back with a little under 20 minutes remaining as Groves played in Tyrone Mings to round Hutchings and score.
However, the visitors restored their two-goal lead within three minutes, Steve Brown capitalising on a slip by Scott Thomas and firing through the grasp of namesake Rob Brown.
A bad day for the hosts was compounded late on when Groves picked up a second yellow card to become their fourth dismissal in as many matches.
Yate are away to Tiverton tomorrow (7.30pm).

Town equalised ten minutes before half-time when Steve Fitzpatrick crossed from the left and Dave Pearse was on hand to beat Kyle Phillips.
Bridgwater took the lead for the first time ten minutes into the second half when Tim Legg headed in Jon Vance's right-wing cross.

Fitzpatrick struck the fourth goal 12 minutes from time with a drive across Phillips that went in via the far post.
