FA Cup Third Qualifying Round draw: Herne Bay v Maidstone, Brackley Town v Ramsgate, Margate v Horsham, Worthing v Dartford

The draw has been made for the third qualifying round of the FA Cup.

Sides are now just two victories away from the first round proper and a potentially money-spinning tie against a Football League side.

Herne Bay will host a Kent derby against National League South Maidstone after both teams progressed in home ties during the second qualifying round at the weekend.

That’s the only all-Kent tie as the other teams avoided each other in the draw. Ady Pennock’s Dartford travel to National League South side Worthing while Ramsgate face a tough trip to Brackley Town.

Chatham’s reward for knocking out Welling is a home match against either Chichester or Slough while Margate also have home advantage when they face Horsham, who knocked out Dorking Wanderers for the second successive season on Saturday.

Jay Saunders’ Tonbridge are at home to Walton & Hersham and Sittingbourne will be keen to avoid a replay after being drawn at home to Plymouth Parkway.

Ashford make the trip to Chertsey Town and Cray Wanderers will host Hastings if they can get past a midweek replay with Wingate & Finchley.

Ties are due to be played on Saturday, September 28 with winning clubs earning £5,625 in prize money and losing sides collecting £1,875.
