The Hoops will be hoping to end their poor run of results against Corinthian when the two sides meet at Gay Dawn Farm on Saturday.
Deal have gained just one point from their last four meetings with the Longfield outfit, who are enjoying another good season and currently sit in fourth place in the Southern Counties East League table.
But the Hoops will travel in confident mood after five successive wins, with manager Derek Hares saying: “Corinthian have been a bogey side for us but we’ve blossomed as a team over the past month and if we reproduce our excellent recent home form there’s no reason why we can’t get something.”
The Hoops Reserves are also away on Saturday, they travel to take on Smarden in the Weald of Kent Cup.
