Details confirmed for play-off semi final as Reading host Sunderland

Details have been finalised for Reading's PL2 play-off semi-final against Sunderland.

Finishing sixth in the PL2 system, featuring all Category One academies, the Royals beat Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest on route to the semi-final stage.

Sunderland, bossed by Royals legend Graeme Murty, finished just one place further back in the full PL2 standings, beating Wolves and West Ham United in their two knockout matches to date.

The Black Cats will visit Berkshire on Monday, May 20, with the match kicking off at 7pm at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Entry and parking is free for all supporters. More than 1,100 supporters turned out for Saturday's 3-1 quarter-final win.

Premier League giants Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur will await in the final for the victor, with the fixture guaranteed to take place in London.

Tonight, Noel Hunt's side face Marlow in the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup final, looking to regain the historic cup after winning it in 2022.

Marlow knocked the Royals out at the semi-final stage last season, with the fixture a repeat of the first-ever final played way back in 1879.
