Maidstone reached the last eight in style with a 4-0 win at National League rivals Eastleigh on Saturday.

Sha'mar Lawson and Regan Booty struck inside 11 minutes as George Elokobi's side raced into a two-goal lead.

Roarie Deacon and captain Jerome Binnom-Williams completed an emphatic victory as Maidstone reached the Quarter-Finals for the second time in four years.

Barnet progressed at the weekend with a 2-1 victory at Torquay.

The Stones have never gone beyond the last eight of the Trophy in three previous attempts.

Ties are due to be played on Saturday, March 11, with £7,500 on offer to the winners and £2,000 for the losers.

FA Trophy Quarter-Final draw:
