Grove had flanker Guy Nicholl red-carded as they lost their final game 29-7 at Beaconsfield.

Nicholl was sent off for what Grove felt was an accidental kick at a home player, while they claimed Beaconsfield’s scrum half should have been dismissed for stamping.

Wing Harry Carr (pictured) scored Grove’s only try with a clever chip-and-chase, which made him the club’s leading scorer on 21.

Fly half Roger Sevier’s conversion took him to a personal best 237 points for the season, but Beaconsfield were too strong.

Grove lost scrum half Jonny Simmonds to a broken thumb late on.

Oxford finished in the relegation zone after their 58-7 home defeat to Milton Keynes and Broadmoor Staff’s 41-13 victory over Windsor.

Chipping Norton drew 19-19 in their penultimate game at home to Newbury Stags, which confirmed they will finish bottom.
