Kane Smith Update

Late in Saturday’s 2-0 win against Crowborough central defender Kane Smith unfortunately picked up a serious ankle injury. Kane was immediately taken to a local hospital and the X-ray results showed that he had suffered a broken ankle. Thankfully Kane has had some positive news today meaning he will not require an operation and that […]

CORINTHIAN 3 DEAL TOWN 2

A goal in added time gave Corinthian victory in Saturday’s FA Vase first round tie just when it seemed Deal had set up a period of extra-time. Alfie Foster had fired the Hoops back level at 2-2 in the final minute of normal time after a long throw-in by fellow substitute Ben Chapman had been […]

CHATHAM TOWN 4 DEAL TOWN 0

Although the Hoops could not argue that Chatham deserved to take all three points from Saturday’s clash they were entitled to feel aggrieved by the margin of their defeat. All of the home side’s goals came in the second half, including two in injury-time, but it was the Chats’ opening goal six minutes after the […]

CHATHAM TOWN V HOOPS PREVIEW

The Hoops face their most difficult league game of the season so far on Saturday with a trip to second-in-the-table Chatham Town. The Chats have been in the top two since the start of the campaign and, although they surprisingly lost two league games in a row last month to Crowborough and Sheppey, they bounced […]

LYDD TOWN 0 DEAL TOWN 4

A dominating first half performance, during which the Hoops scored three times without reply, ensured they enjoyed a smooth passage into the second round of the SCEL Challenge Cup at Lydd on Wednesday night. Steve O’Brien put Deal in front with a 29th-minute penalty against a Lydd side who are currently lying in 16th place […]

CROYDON 1 DEAL TOWN 3

An improved second half performance ensured that the Hoops avoided becoming the first team to lose to Croydon in the league this season. Derek Hares’ side went in at half-time on Saturday fortunate to be 2-1 up against their bottom-of-the-league opponents, but Deal then dug in after the break before Connor Coyne wrapped up the […]

DEAL TOWN 2 K SPORTS 1

An injury-time “winner” from substitute Harris Rodgers lifted the Hoops into third place in the SCEL Premier Division table on Saturday. Rodgers ran on to a Sam Wilson header before sweetly lobbing ‘keeper Adam Highsted to give Deal their second victory over the league newcomers in the space of eight days. But K Sports made […]

CROWBOROUGH ATH 2 DEAL TOWN 4

Connor Coyne grabbed a first half hat-trick to set up the Hoops’ first away win of the season on Saturday. The striker struck in the ninth, 17th and 28th minutes as Deal totally dominated the opening period against a Crowborough side who had done the “double” over them last season. Harris Rodgers also scored for […]

DEAL TOWN 2 LORDSWOOD 2

The Hoops twice came from behind to earn a point against “bogey side” Lordswood on Monday. Derek Hares’ side had failed to beat the Chatham outfit in any of their previous six meetings and they made the worst possible start to this latest encounter, falling behind after just two minutes when Mike Freiter fired home. […]

SHEPPEY UTD V HOOPS PREVIEW

The Hoops travel to meet a Sheppey United side on Tuesday night who will be eager to get their season up and running. After winning 5-0 against bottom club Crowborough on the opening day Sheppey have lost their last three matches in league and cup, scoring just one goal in the process. Saturday’s  2-1 defeat […]
