Saturday' match was totally compelling . We were 2-0 down at HT but fought back and 2-2 at FT was just about right . So here we are tonight , welcoming Deal in what will be the 2nd of 6 meetings this season Crazy as it seems but 2 x FA Cups ties, 1x Scefl League Cup, 1 x FA Vase, 2 x League matches . Never known anything like it ! We wish Arly a quick recovery from a broken foot, sustained in Saturday draw . This is a real pity as he was just settling down really well and scored a magical equaliser against Deal. Hopefully tonight we will use the 'players tunnel' for the 1st time . I say hopefully as I'm waiting for a gate to be delivered. Our away support was superb on Saturday and thanks so much for making such an effort. Let's get behind Ben's Red & Black army tonight and hopefully get through to the next round Enjoy the match ! Rocky #FoxburyFoxes #Glebefamily #Ben’sRedandBlackArmy A WORD FROM THE GAFFER BEN YOUNG Deal Town FC v Glebe FC After our mid-week disaster away to Beckenham Town we had to turn our atten- tions to Deal away in the FA cup. It was very important that we as a team put in a performance for both ourselves, the club and supports. We took a strong following down to Deal, so would like to say thank you for the supporters who made the long journey. As the season has stared I've learnt a lot in our opening two league games and I am even more determined to get things right and push the club forward. But these things will take time for all players to gel, but i have faith in them all. So i thank your you support and patience. As a team we knew we were in for a tough game, with Deal being very organised team with some exciting players. It was important that we put Wednesday behind us and move on. Both teams started a little bit tentatively, but we looked to have better shape and more tempo from Wednesday, but it was the host who took the lead. With a long ball a over the top that caught us out. With the forward getting on the end to slot home bottom corner. Again we were still positive with our play, but couldn't seem to create any chances. Then the host grabbed their 2nd with some comical defend- ing, which has been the story of our season so far. 2nd half was a lot different with Glebe playing the way we should every week, with high tempo and confidence, with this we stared to create chances and break down the opposition. We soon got the goal we deserved, with Gunner scoring from a free kick. The wind might helped, but we need that to push on and we did so. Soon after that we got our equaliser, with Arlie turning in the box and smashing how. Great turn and finish. We kept the pressure up and should have gone onto finish the game off, but couldn't take our chances. All round much better performance and need to do this for the rest of the season. Thanks again for those that travelled down to watch.

Concept4football.com Todays Visitors Originally known as Deal Cinque Ports FC the club was formed in the early 1900s, changing its’ name in 1920 to Deal Town FC. Deals’ first matches were played in the Thanet League and the East Kent League. In 1909 they joined the Eastern section of the Kent League. Following the disbanding of the Kent League in 1959, Deal became founder members of the Aetolian League. 1963 saw Deal elected into the Southern League, but after a torrid three seasons they moved onto the Greater London League. The 1971/72 season saw the club return to the Kent League. Deals’ first, Kent League Championship came in 1953/54, then after a long wait, the second was achieved in 1999/2000. They have been Runners-up on two occasions, 1988/89 and 1998/99. The club has reached the Kent League Cup Final on five occasions. Their first Final appearance came in 1957/58 when they overcame Margate. Deal won their second League Cup in 1981/82, this time defeating Erith & Belvedere. Their third appearance in the Final was 1993/94, when they lost to Ramsgate. The Club lifted the cup for the 3rd time in 1998/99, defeating VCD Athletic. In 1999/2000, they reached the final, but did not contend it. The club has made four appearances in the Kent Senior Trophy Final. Deal were beaten finalists in 1982/83 going down to Southern League Fisher Athletic. There was further heartbreak in the 1990/91 Final this time having to settle for second best against Hythe Town. However it was a case of third time lucky in 1994/95 as Deal finally captured the Trophy defeating Folkestone Invicta in a penalty shoot-out following a 2-2 draw. 1999/2000 saw Deal lift the trophy for the second time when they beat Chatham 5-1. Another trophy to come the way of the club was the Greater London League Cup which they won in 1967/68, meanwhile in 1959/60 Deal finished as Aetolian League Runners-up. 1998/99 saw the Club achieve their best season. Apart from the successes of the 1st team, the Reserves won the League championship for the first time, and were beaten finalists in both the League Cup and the Intermediate Cup. This was however surpassed the following season. As well as their domestic achievements, Deal Town become the 1st team from Kent to lift the FA Vase with their 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium against Chippenham Town in front of a crowd of 20,083, the second biggest in the history of the competition. Last season was slightly disappointing in that we finished in 13th place in the table, four places lower than the previous season, although it looked as though it was going to be significantly worse at one point. The 4-2 home defeat to Erith Town at the end of January left the Hoops in 18th position in the table and facing a relegation battle, but the players responded superbly by losing only two of their remaining 15 league games to ensure another mid-table finish Our main honours are:- FA Vase winners 1999/2000 Kent League winners 1953/54, 1999/2000 Kent League runners-up 1988/89. 1998/99 Kent League Cup winners 1957/58, 1981/82, 1998/99 Kent League Cup runners-up 1993/94 Kent Senior Trophy winners 1994/95, 1999/2000 Kent Senior Trophy runners-up 1982/83, 1990/91 Oh we do like to be beside the seaside..... Senior Honours Winners 2015/16 London FA Senior Trophy Winners 2015/16 Kent Invicta League Cup Champions 2016/17 Southern Counties Eastern Football league 1st Division Runners-up 2016/17 London FA Senior Trophy Glebe FC were founded in 1995 by the present Chairman & his wife, Rocky and Grace McMillan. From humble beginnings with just 1 under 8 team, the club has progressed at various stages, today hosting 20 Junior Teams, 4 vets sides, 1 Ladies Senior Side and of course the First XI, with over 300 members. We are based in Chislehurst Kent, with 15 acres of grounds. Glebe, in the last couple of years have moved in and built a wonderful new sports complex, comprising of 5 pitches, a new stadium pitch , floodlit training area, multi-purpose Gym and a brand new Social Hub. It hasn't always been easy. For years Glebe were nomads, winning every Junior Trophy that could be won, including 10 London County Cups at various ages, but never seemingly able to find 'a home of its own'. However we never gave up and moved into our 'New Home' in September 2014. Also in 2014 Glebe FC won the prestigious 'London FA Standard Charter Community Club of the Year Award', voted by the Executive Committee of the London FA. After progressing through the age groups and becoming a regular feature in Kent Youth Leagues, it was decided by the Committee back in 2010 to form a Senior Section. We are now in our 5th Season. The initial 2 years we ground-shared at Holmesdale FC. This was only going to be a short term stay as we were desperate to find our own venue. When Old Elthamians Rugby Club experienced differences with the Landlords, we were quick off the mark and signed a 25 year lease at Foxbury Avenue.
