13:30, 14 November 2016
Kent sides were kept apart in the draw for the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy on Monday afternoon.
The draw for the 40 ties included National League South clubs for the first time with Ebbsfleet being handed a home tie against Ryman League Premier Division Harrow Borough.
Margate were also given a home tie against league rivals East Thurrock United though Dartford were handed a testing trip to National League South rivals Weston-Super-Mare.
Welling United are also on the road, but make the shorter trip to Concord Rangers of National League South.
Ryman League Division 1 South side Hythe saw Saturday's 2nd Qualifying Round tie at Merstham rained-off, but if they come through Tuesday's rearranged game at their higher-division opponents they will host Bishop's Stortford of National League South in the next round.
Tonbridge Angels also face a replay after a 1-1 draw at Kingstonian on Saturday, with the prize for the winner a trip to North Leigh of Southern League Division 1 South & West, who came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Folkestone Invicta in the last round - having already beaten Neil Cugley's side in the FA Cup in Oxfordshire last month.
Ties will be played on Saturday, November 26, with £4,000 prize money at stake for the winners.
Dover Athletic and Maidstone United of National League will not join the competition until the next round.
