A home tie is Margate's reward for winning 5-1 at Potters Bar in the previous round.

Terry Brown's men will entertain the winners of the reply between West Country rivals Truro and Taunton on Tuesday night after they drew 2-2 on Saturday.

Ebbsfleet United are also in replay action on Tuesday night, against Chelmsford City, the first game having finished 0-0 in Essex.

Should the National South leaders make it through at Stonebridge Road, they'll be away again, to another of their league rivals, Basingstoke Town.

Kent's lowest-ranked club left in the competition are Herne Bay, who scored late on Saturday to hold Hastings United to a 1-1 draw at Winch's Field.

The two Ryman League Division 1 South teams must do it all again in East Sussex on Tuesday for the right to host Southern Premier side Poole Town.

The ties will be played over the weekend of October 10, carrying prize money of £7,500.
