FA Cup fourth qualifying round draw 2015/16
11:00, 12 October 2015
Margate will entertain non-league's top-ranked team in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.
Terry Brown's side, who knocked out Truro City on Saturday, have been rewarded with a home tie against Vanarama National League leaders Forest Green Rovers.
Gate, who at 19th in National League South are Kent's lowest-ranked side left in the competition, will be aiming to reach the first round proper for the first time in 16 years.
The teams sitting fourth and 11th in the National League will clash at Hayes Lane after Bromley were drawn at home to Eastleigh.
Bromley have reached the FA Cup first round in four of the last six seasons but the Spitfires represent a stern test if they are to extend that impressive record.
Maidstone United will be away to Chippenham Town, of the Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division, having beaten Dunstable 2-0 at the Gallagher Stadium on Saturday.
Stones knocked out Welling and Stevenage on their way to the second round last season before eventually succumbing to Welsh giants Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground.
In-form Dover Athletic, who played Crystal Palace in the third round last season, will make the relatively short trip to Eastbourne Borough.
Five straight wins have lifted Whites to third in the National League while Eastbourne are 10th in the division below.
Welling United have only reached the first round proper once in the last nine seasons and they will fancy their chances of improving that statistic after being drawn away to Ryman League opposition.
They're up against Grays Athletic, who are fifth in the Ryman Premier and count former Wings assistant manager Glen Little among their coaching staff.
The ties will be played over the weekend of October 24, carrying prize money of £12,500.
