SALE FC are gearing up for a make-or-break game of the season in their push for the National Three North league title.

It is a winner-takes-all situation at Heywood Road on Saturday when Brendan Thomas's side take on current leaders Sandal at 3pm.

Only one point separates the two sides and after their 44-25 win against Wirral at the weekend Sale have confirmed a top-two spot.

But Thomas insists his side are not finished there.

He said: "We are playing very well and have got ourselves in a good position for promotion.

"If we win then it will be automatic promotion but there is a play-off chance the week after but we want to go straight up."

Thomas has no injury problems going into the tie and hopes a big crowd can cheer the club to victory.

He said: "Anybody who has played the sport knows the impact the fans can have on you and I hope we can be celebrating after the game."
