Wallingford’s mixed team will be pitting their wits against top national players next season after winning promotion to Pool A with a 5-3 Gladiators Cup play-off final victory against Bicester at The Hithercroft.

Earlier this month, Wallingford drew 1-1 with captain Nicholas Golding on target to secure the replay.

Wallingford took a 3-0 lead through Charlie Lester, Tim Chamberlain and Tim Atkins, only for Bicester to level.

But goals from Tazz Mottram and Fon Leighand saw Wallingford ease home.

Meanwhile, Wallingford finished fourth in the Abingdon mixed tournament hosted by NGG Sports at Tilsley Park.
