Kent clubs dreaming of an FA Cup run now know their first opponents in this season's competition.

The Cup kicks off on August 15, with 368 teams featuring in the extra preliminary round. The draw is regionalised so none of the Kent sides have to travel further than West Sussex.

Ashford United have been drawn away to Southern Counties East League rivals Cray Valley, while there will be another local clash at Princes Park when Greenwich host Lordswood.

Winners of these ties collect £1,500 prize money and progress to the preliminary round, where the Ryman League Division 1 North and South clubs enter the competition.

Few of the matches are clear-cut at this stage but Ramsgate, Folkestone, Herne Bay, Hythe, Whitstable and Phoenix do at least know they'll be playing at home.

Ryman League Premier Division clubs come in at the first qualifying round, which will be played over the weekend of September 12.
