Deal Town will try again on Tuesday night to play their delayed FA Vase second round tie at Chichester City – and Derek Hares’ side now know what their reward will be for victory over their Southern Combination League opponents.

In today’s third round draw Deal or Chichester were handed an away tie with Whitstable Town, who the Hoops have already beaten at home in the league this season.

But Deal must first overcome a tough test at Chichester, which hasn’t been made any easier by having to travel to west Sussex in midweek after Saturday’s scheduled fixture was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
