FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round draw

10:30, 13 October 2014

Maidstone United have been drawn at home to Welling United in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.

Jay Saunders' side are top of the Ryman League Premier Division, while the Wings sit 17th in the Vanarama Conference.

The tie is likely to be a sell-out at the Gallagher Stadium, with Maidstone bidding to reach the first round proper for the first time in 22 years.

Dartford will fancy their chances of progressing after being drawn at home to Burgess Hill Town, who play three divisions below them in Ryman League Division 1 South.

A trickier test awaits Dover Athletic, who will visit Conference South promotion hopefuls Eastbourne Borough. Whites made it all the way to the second round last season before losing 1-0 at MK Dons.

Greenwich Borough, who are on their best-ever FA Cup run, will be away to the winners of the replay between Leamington and Worcester City. The Dartford-based Southern Counties East League side have already come through five rounds to reach this stage of the competition.

A trip to Evesham United will be Bromley's reward if they can see off Grays Athletic in their replay on Tuesday night. The sides drew 0-0 in Essex on Saturday.

The ties will be played over the weekend of October 25.
