Wallingford director of rugby Martin Moran is no scrooge, but he is not looking forward to the Christmas break.

After a struggling start to the South West 1 East season, Wallingford have now won their last two matches.

And Moran feels they are building momentum, especially after Saturday’s 20-19 derby victory at home to Witney.

“I almost feel Christmas is coming too quickly,” said Moran. “I would like to just keep playing.

“We have got to keep that belief.

“There was a lot of spirit out there against Witney, which was very pleasing.”

Moran added: “We are not going to win the league, but I hope Witney can go on and make a big push for the title.

“It would be good to see another Oxfordshire club do well.”
