Deal Town FOOTBALL CLUB

D

eal Town FC was first established as Deal Cinque Ports in 1908 before changing their name 12 years later . The club has a history of which it has every right to be proud and their most famous success came in the 1999 / 2000 campaign when they managed to win the FA Vase . The same season also saw them win the Kent League to complete a memorable double .
The club has also won the Kent League once before and the Kent League Cup on 3 separate occasions . The current group of players will be keen to add to the clubs proud history in the coming years .
At present , they are based at The Charles Ground on St Leonards Road in Kent and their first team competes in the Southern Counties East Football League . They are led by Chairman David Chmura who is supported by Secretary Natalie Benville and the club is looking to progress under their guidance .
So far this season , their first team has put together a steady campaign , having compiled a record of seven wins , eight draws and twelve defeats from their twenty seven matches . This has left them sitting in a mid-table position with twenty nine points on the board .
They will now be looking to put together a good run of results in order to finish the season on a high . This would give them a good platform from which to build as they look ahead to their 2017 / 18 campaign . So long as they are able to retain their current group of players and perhaps make one or two quality additions they will be well set up to push on .

A major benefit of having an extra team is that it allows the first XI to benefit from far greater strength in depth . If they are ever left short on numbers through injury or suspension they have the option of calling a replacement up with a limited amount of disruption .
There is clearly plenty to admire about the fine set up that Deal Town currently has in place . If they continue in the same manner then they should be able to look forward to a bright and successful future .
