Hot on the heels of playing one Sunderland side on Wednesday, we visit the other on Saturday as Albion travel to Meadow Park to face Sunderland RCA who play their first home game having drawn at Prudhoe and lost at Seaham in their two games to date. We did the double over RCA last season but hadn’t played them since 2011 before that & have a good record against the Wearsiders, having won nine of our ten league games against them. Like with West End, RACA and RCA haven’t played out a draw in the 13 competitive games to date. Callum Johnson (hamstring tweak) and Ryan Bailey (knee) are doubtful for Saturday so the RACA management team might have to do some rejigging of the side.

If you’re coming to the game the address for your sat-nav is Meadow Park, Beechbrooke, Ryhope, Sunderland SR2 0NZ
