Deal manager Derek Hares has warned that no club can ignore the prize money on offer in both the FA Cup and FA Vase.

After watching the club pick up £1,500 from Saturday’s FA Cup, preliminary round defeat of Ringmer, Hares immediately turned his attention to this weekend’s FA Vase, first round qualifier away to the same opponents - and the chance to win more money.

Hares said: "For a club like Deal, you are talking big, big money. That kind of money you can’t budget for.

"If we continue to advance, you never know, we might draw Dover."
