Wallingford coach Chris Norrington says his side are far from the finished article despite their meteoric rise.

Norrington's men have now won five out of six matches at South West 2 level after clinching back-to-back promotions.

Saturday's EDF Energy Intermediate Cup victory over Salisbury, a side of traditionally much higher standing, was a case in point.

But Norrington said: "I can see so many things we are not getting right.

"We probably only won 25 per cent of our line-out ball against Salisbury, if that.

"And we conceded two sloppy tries.

"If we get these things sorted we will be more than a match for all the teams in our league."

In April 2006, Wallingford finished a distant fourth in the BB&O Premier Division, but since then Norrington has seen his players continually raise their game.

"I think the lads enjoy challenging themselves," he said.

"The nucleus of the team has been the same throughout this run.

"They are mates who will play for each other and battle when it gets tough.

"We wouldn't go out and bring in overseas players. We'll never go down that route.

"If we lose two or three players, their replacements will come from the second team."

And while some clubs at South West 2 level offer players some sort of remuneration, at Wallingford they still pay a £5 match fee!

Meanwhile, Wallingford will host the all-conquering Hartpury College in round two south west of the EDF Energy Intermediate Cup on November 22.

Hartpury, British universities champions for the past two seasons, won the Junior Vase in 2007 and Senior Vase this year.

Henley Wanderers have been drawn at home to Reading.
