Four Kent clubs in FA Trophy first round draw
Comments |
The draw has not been kind to any of the Kent teams in the FA
Trophy first round.
Maidstone's reward for knocking out Bromley is a home tie with
Blue Square Premier Histon.
Stones joint-boss Lloyd Hume said the draw could barely have
been tougher.
He said: "You always want a home draw but you have to look at it
as Histon are the 13th best non-league side in the country so it's
a massive task.
"We will be huge underdogs but they will not fancy coming down
here, they are on a hiding to nothing.
"I am confident that we can go out there and get a result
against anyone. If we have everyone fit we have six players who
have played Conference-level or above so I have no doubt we can
match them if we perform on the day."
Welling also have a home tie with Blue Square Premier opposition
after getting past Tonbridge on Sunday with Eastbourne Borough
handed a trip to Park View Road.
Dover will travel to fellow Blue Square South side Havant &
Waterlooville while Ebbsfleet have been handed a trip to holders
Stevenage Borough in a repeat of last season's semi-final.
The ties are due to be played on Saturday, December 12.
FA Trophy, first round draw: Havant &
Waterlooville v Dover, Maidstone United v Histon, Stevenage Borough
v Ebbsfleet, Welling v Eastbourne Borough.
