Deal Town picked up four points over the Easter period in the Bulmers Cider Kent League Premier Division - and manager Derek Hares was delighted with his side’s haul.

On Saturday, Deal recorded a 3-0 win against Sevenoaks.

Hares said: "I thought we played well and in the end we ran out comfortable winners.

"We could have scored quite a few more."

Deal started strongly and opened the scoring after 11 minutes when Danny Smith fired home from a free-kick.

The home side doubled their lead before the break when Scott Holden raced onto a Stuart Vahid through ball, before firing home.

In the second half, Deal secured the points when Smith turned home Aaron Robinson’s free-kick late on.

Deal travelled to Beckenham on Monday and came away with a point after being held to a 1-1 draw.

Beckenham opened the scoring after 30 minutes through Durrand Jemmott.

But Jack Collins equalised for Deal on 41 minutes.

Hares added: "Before our win over Norton last Tuesday we’d had four bad results and performances. The lads have shown a lot of character."

The results leave Deal in 12th place in the league with 38 points.
