First round of the FA Cup: Gillingham away to Kidderminster Harriers or AFC Fylde while Ebbsfleet United to host FC Halifax Town

Gillingham have been handed an away tie against National League North opposition in the FA Cup first round.

The Gills will play either Kidderminster or AFC Fylde, two teams who have made promising starts to their league campaigns this season.

Kidderminster - seventh in National League North - and Fylde - fourth in the same division - drew their fourth round qualifier 2-2 on Saturday and will play each other in a replay tomorrow (Tuesday) night.

Gillingham boss Neil Harris has said whoever his team play, he will name his best team possible, giving the competition full commitment.

Ebbsfleet United, meanwhile, will play at home to National League side FC Halifax Town.

Dennis Kutrieb’s Fleet are flying high in National League South this season, top of the table and unbeaten. They qualified for the first round after beating Sevenoaks Town 2-0 on Saturday.

Eighty teams will be in the first round, the 48 teams from League 1 and 2 joining those qualifiers from non-league.

First round ties will be played on the weekend of November 5-6.
