Two Kent sides face a huge derby clash after the draw for the fourth and final qualifying round of the FA Cup was made on Monday morning.

In the pick of the ties, Tonbridge Angels, who enjoyed a memorable 4-2 win over Hereford at Longmead on Saturday, were handed another home tie, this time against Dartford, who play a division higher in Vanarama National League South and who reached this stage with a 3-2 win at Slough on Saturday.

The draw - which was made live on national radio - saw Dover Athletic, Bromley and Maidstone United enter the competition for the first time this season.

Maidstone were handed a home tie against Billericay Town while Dover were handed a trip to Burgess Hill Town, another side from the Ryman League Premier Division while Bromley were handed a trip to National League rivals Braintree.

After Saturday's 7-0 win over Havant in the third qualifying round, Ebbsfleet are also on the road at Ryman Premier opposition as they visit Merstham, 5-1 winners over Thamesmead Town on Saturday.

Welling also hit seven on Saturday, seeing off Swindon Supermarine 7-1 with their reward another home tie, against Whitehawk.

Margate saw their scheduled clash with lower-division Hastings washed-out on Saturday, meaning they will try again at Hartsdown Park on Tuesday night, with the winner facing a trip to Harrow Borough of Ryman League Premier Division.

Also on Tuesday Faversham Town travel to Egham for a replay after a 1-1 draw on Saturday - their first ever game at this stage of the competition.

The winner of the replay will be at home to St Albans City of National League South.

Folkestone Invicta saw their Cup run ended with a 3-1 defeat at North Leigh in the third qualifying round on Saturday while Thamesmead also went out, losing 5-1 at Merstham.

Fourth qualifying round ties will be held on Saturday, October 15, with the winners each receiving £12,500 in prize money.
