Ebbsfleet United will be at home again in the FA Cup third qualifying round.

Having thrashed Hythe Town 7-1 at The PHB Stadium on Saturday, the Fleet will entertain Vanarama Conference South rivals Basingstoke Town in two weeks' time.

Basingstoke beat Steve Brown's side 1-0 in the league meeting in Hampshire on August 30 and both clubs currently occupy a play-off spot.

Following back-to-back home ties, Maidstone United will be away in the next round.

They'll face the winner of the replay between Dorking Wanderers and Biggleswade Town, those two sides having played out a 2-2 draw at Dorking on Saturday.

So far in this season's cup run, Stones have knocked out Littlehampton and Brentwood.

Greenwich Borough, who are bidding to reach the fourth qualifying round for the first time in their history, have been drawn at home to Ryman League Division 1 South side Redhill.

Redhill knocked Tonbridge Angels out in the last round but Greenwich, of the Southern Counties East League, will fancy their chances of causing an upset at Dartford's Princes Park, where they are ground-sharing.

In the other tie of Kent interest, Conference South Bromley will visit Grays Athletic.

Grays are seventh in the Ryman League Premier Division so a tricky test awaits Mark Goldberg's men.

The ties will be played over the weekend of October 11.
