The Blues are just one point ahead of our visitors this weekend with two matches remaining, meaning we can clinch a third successive regional title with victory.
Ben Wilkinson’s side have won our last 11 league matches to edge out in front of the Black Cats and will be looking to seal our place in the national final on Saturday.

Midfielder O’Reilly has been pivotal as a creative force as well as a leader on the pitch and ahead of such a pressurised fixture, the 18-year-old is raring to go.
“I’m very proud, I’m proud of the team and of myself,” he said.
“Now we just need to make sure we go and do the job and finish it off.
“We are fully focused on that game now. We have a whole week of training focusing on it to make sure we win the league.
“That’s all we’re hoping for, a good performance and a good result.”
City suffered FA Youth Cup heartbreak at Arsenal earlier this month, losing the semi-final in the last few seconds of extra time in North London.
While O’Reilly admits that defeat hurt, he acknowledges it may also have helped spur them on in the final weeks of the league season.
“We’re all very motivated [to win the title],” he stated.
“We thought we could’ve done both, but we got a bit unlucky in that game at Arsenal, I think.
“I think we have a really good chance of winning the league and that’s exactly what we’re going to try and do.”
