Four Kent clubs in FA Trophy first round draw
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.
