Deal Town (A) - 5th November 2024

By Josh Cole

Another local derby is up for The ‘Gate, with a trip to the Charles Ground to take on Deal Town!

Last time out we beat Broadbridge Heath away from home 1-2, with goals from Lewis Knight and Jordon Ababio. To learn more about the performance, listen to the post-match comments from Ben Greenhalgh by clicking here.

The Venue: The Charles Ground, St Leonards Road, Deal, CT14 9AU.

OPPONENTS SEASON SO FAR:

The Hoops are currently in 9th place after 13 games played in the league, on 21 points. They started 2024/25 with back-to-back wins, one in the FA Cup extra preliminary round against Roffey and the first game in the league at home to Lancing. They would be knocked out of the FA Cup though in the preliminary round, losing 2-0 to Haywards Heath. Another win came in the league away at Broadbridge Heath before they suffered a 2-4 defeat at home to Ramsgate. They bounced back to beat East Grinstead away (2-3) but lost three on the bounce, at home to Ashford United in the FA Trophy first qualifying round, away at The ‘Gate and back at home against Beckenham Town. They countered those losses, with the perfect response, winning three back-to-back themselves. A 2-0 home win against Hythe in the velocity cup second round, a 6-1 win at home against Sittingbourne in the Kent Senior Cup first round, and a 4-1 win back in the league against Eastbourne Town. Their form since then has been inconsistent losing to Sittingbourne and Erith Town in the league, then beating Hythe at home in the Kent Senior Cup second round, but another loss in the league against high-flying Beckenham before two wins against Littlehampton and Hythe again in the Isthmian South-East.
