FA Trophy second round draw

13:00, 18 December 2017

The three Kent clubs through to the second round of the FA Trophy have all been drawn at home.

Dover, Ebbsfleet and Maidstone will all fancy their chances of progressing against lower-league opposition when the competition resumes in the new year.

However, a long trip north awaits Dartford if they make it through a replay.

Dover's reward for beating Eastbourne Borough on Saturday is another home tie against Marine, who are struggling towards the foot of the Evo-Stik League Premier Division.

After knocking out Eastleigh with a last-minute goal on Saturday, Ebbsfleet can now look forward to a home game against Warrington Town or Altrincham, who both play in the same division as Marine. Their tie will be settled on Tuesday night after a 0-0 draw at the weekend.

Maidstone will play the winners of the replay between Heybridge Swifts and Hampton & Richmond after they cruised through with a 4-0 win at National League rivals Torquay.

A long trip to Gateshead or Guiseley awaits Dartford if they can beat Boreham Wood at the second attempt on Tuesday. The sides drew 1-1 at Princes Park on Saturday.

The ties will be played on the weekend of January 13.
