Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Fisher (1-3).There will be little rest for Deal Town after this match as they are travelling to Snodland Town for a Counties Leagues: Southern Counties East game in only four days.
VCD Athletic form and stats

Two away matches in a row for VCD Athletic, whose boss could celebrate last time after the FA Cup win against Sandhurst Town.
A 0-3 loss hosting Faversham Town before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the VCD manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Corinthian.
