AFC Wallingford are an English association football team who have played in the Combined Counties League since 1998, after they won the Cherry Red RecordsChiltonian League championship. The club was founded by the 1995 merger of Hellenic League side Wallingford Town, founded in 1922, and Wallingford United, founded in 1934.
In 2001/2002 AFC Wallingford won the CCL championship, and they were runners-up to Withdean 2000 F.C. and AFC Wimbledon in the succeeding two years. However, their facilities at their ground, Hithercroft, do not meet the standards of the RymanIsthmian League and thus they have so far been denied further promotion. A recent grant of 100,000 GBP toward ground improvements may make promotion possible if they again win the CCL.
AFCWallingford should really have been promoted ages ago, but with their ground not being the necessary standard, their highly rated side is still competing at this level of the pyramid (and next year they'll be a level lower).
AFCWallingford equalised with a good free kick by Ward that eluded Martin and gave Wallingford a sense that they could win it.
Towards the end Wallingford were still producing chances, but the Dons eventually pulled a goal in front with a heavily deflected effort form Gareth Graham to send the place wild and secure the Dons spectacular unbeaten record.
