FA Trophy quarter-final draw featuring Dartford FC, Dover Athletic and Ebbsfleet United

Two of the three Kent clubs left in the FA Trophy will be at home if they reach the quarter-finals.

Dover Athletic, who drew 3-3 at Woking on Saturday, face the Cards in a replay on Tuesday night and another Crabble clash will be their reward if they knock out the Surrey side.

The winners of the replay will entertain Bath City - who are 11th in Vanarama Conference South - in the last eight.

Dartford will take on either Wrexham or Gateshead at Princes Park if they come through their replay away to FC Halifax Town next Tuesday (February 3).

Tony Burman's side came from 2-0 down to hold the Shaymen 2-2 in Saturday's first meeting and the teams were due to reconvene in Yorkshire on Tuesday, January 27.

But the pitch at The Shay is waterlogged so the replay has been put back a week. Victory for the Darts would set up a second successive tie against fellow Vanarama Conference opposition.

Ebbsfleet United have yet to kick off their third-round tie against Braintree Town after Cressing Road failed a pitch inspection on Saturday.

The teams will try again on Tuesday night, knowing a long trip north awaits the victors.

Jamie Day's side are now playing for the right to travel to North Ferriby United, who are 10th in Vanarama Conference North and who won away to Conference South side Farnborough in the last round.

The quarter-finals will be played over the weekend of February 7.
