Sun Sports boss Tim O’Sullivan is on cloud nine heading into his side’s first ever match in the FA Vase round of 32 at home against Bromsgrove Sporting on Saturday.

The Watford club have so far defeated Hoddesdon Town, Biggleswade United and Peterborough Northern Star to get to this stage of the competition.

The cup run has certainly been the main highlight of the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division club’s season to date and they hope the dream run can continue.

“For me personally it is unreal,” said the Sun boss. “I think it is a great honour at the moment and we are really enjoying it all.”

O’Sullivan is not the only one in his element with the players taking each cup tie in their stride.

“They are all really excited and looking forward to the game. It truly is brilliant and definitely something we can’t wait for,” said O’Sullivan.

“It is also great for the club for it to gain more recognition.”

If Sun’s fairytale run is to continue into the last 16, they will have to get past tough opponents from Midland Football League Division One.

Bromsgrove currently sit top of their table on 47 points, three above second-placed Leicester Road.

When asked how they have been preparing for the game, the Sun manager said: “It is a bit different to any other we have played before.

“We cannot say it isn’t. It is the biggest game in the club’s history. We will be mentally and physically prepared.

“They are bringing down a big crowd from Birmingham, around 350 people I think. So it will be a great atmosphere, great for the club and for the lads.

“But I think what is most important is to be mentally prepared for the match.”

The two sides have never met before but O’Sullivan has kept a close eye on Bromsgrove’s progress.

The Sun boss was also keen to stress that he did not believe there were any big differences between the two teams.

He added: “My coach went up to see them on New Year’s Eve. He was treated really well and they gave him a pass for the whole ground.

“They are geared towards bigger things. It is good for us, the club and for the cup as well being in the last 32.

“I said to the players, they are only one tier below us. They are top of their league and they have not lost all season.

“As I mentioned, they are geared towards bigger things. I do not think there is a massive difference between us, it would be silly to think otherwise.

“They are better at what they are doing now and they could easily be in the league above in their respective Premier Division.”

With the final being played at the home of football, Wembley Stadium, it would be easy for any team to get carried away.

But O’Sullivan is determined his players’ feet will remain firmly on the ground.

“We are taking each round as it comes,” added the manager. “That is the aim. It is a one-off game and we will take it as that and we will see if we progress.

“Wembley is obviously the dream but there are a lot of great clubs left with bigger budgets than us but we will continue with it each game at a time.

“But it would be amazing if we made it to the last 16. For us just to get there would be incredible.

“We hope this can help the club build and get more recognition from this. All the players and I are working hard and if we can get anything from it, it would be fantastic.”

Fellow SSML top-flight sides Berkhamsted and Tring Athletic have also made it to the last 32.

The Comrades and Tring both have an away trip to face Hinkley AFC and Sporting Khalsa respectively tomorrow.

“All three of us are cheering each other on,” O’Sullivan said. “It is a great achievement for the league that there are three of us left.

“We are rivals in the league but it is different in the Vase. And what a great advert it is for the Premier Division.”
