Dover have been drawn at home again, this time they will entertain Haringey Borough who caused an upset by knocking out Tonbridge Angels in the previous round.

After winning at Steyning Town on Saturday, George Elokobi’s Maidstone are on the road again – this time the Stones will travel to either Reading City or Winchester City, who drew 1-1 at the weekend.

Welling’s reward for a derby success at Dartford is a trip to Gosport Borough, who sit second in the Southern Premier South.

There’s a potential return to Carshalton for former boss Steve McKimm, if his current charges at Cray Valley can win their replay against Northwood.

Joe Taylor’s late brace ensured Ramsgate were in the hat alongside Cray Wanderers. The winners of their replay will face either Plymouth Parkway or Frome Town at home.

Margate and Folkestone Invicta were locked at 2-2 in a pulsating tie on Saturday, the winners of that replay travel to Chesham United.

Ties are due to be played on Saturday, September 30 with the winners earning £5,625 in prize money and losing sides banking £1,875.
