Royal Oak v Nags Head is being dubbed the biggest match in Sunday league history. To be held at the home of the world’s oldest football club, Sheffield FC, this is a high-stakes quarter-final of the Sheffield Imperial Cup between two arch-rivals.

And just how big the game is – it has been picked up by the BBC. It will now be streamed live on Game’s Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast YouTube channel, with BBC Radio Sheffield’s Adam Oxley and Lee Turnbull providing full commentary, along with build-up and post-match analysis.

Steve Bracknall, Royal Oak’s assistant manager, welcomed the decision to stream the match. He said tickets sold out in a jiffy, leaving many fans disappointed. Adam Oxley, who has covered many historic matches, said he has never seen a story or rivalry quite like this – “It’s got everything: drama, betrayal, and some serious Sunday League football fun.”
