A big FA Vase match awaits in-form Deal this Saturday. Steve King’s Hoops, challenging for Southern Counties East Premier Division promotion this season, will face Cobham at the Charles Sports Ground in a last-32 tie and are unbeaten in 11 games.
Cobham are languishing at the wrong end of Combined Counties Premier Division South. While King previously had suggested Deal would be favourites, he won’t underestimate their weekend visitors.
He revealed: “We have had them watched. “We know plenty about them. We will be prepared for Saturday. They’re a decent side. “They’re not pulling up any trees in their league - but they have had some very good results along the way.
My information seems to suggest that they’re a team that can really get up for the big games. “They drew with Jersey Bulls recently and Jersey Bulls are a strong outfit.
