Ashford United have been drawn away to Salisbury FC in the quarter-finals of the FA Vase, if they win their fifth round replay at Northern League Dunston.
The Wessex League leaders, managed by Steve Claridge were formed following the demise of former Conference side Salisbury City who went into liquidation in the summer of 2014.
They secured their last-eight place with a 3-0 win at Nuneaton Griff on Saturday.
Ashford make the 660-mile round-trip to Gateshead following their 1-1 draw after- extra-time against former winners Dunston in front of more than 600 spectators at Homelands.
Kent Online Sport broke news of the draw to player-manager Danny Lye, who said: " It's a few years since I last played at Salisbury, but it means nothing unless we win on Saturday.
"I have been busy making arrangements for our trip on Saturday, booking coach and the hotel."
Salisbury are one of the fancied teams left in the competition, the draw complicated by one fifth round tie, and the outstanding fourth round meeting between Northern League rivals Morpeth Town and holders North Shields still to be decided.
The rest of the draw is:_
Hartley Wintney or Hereford v Camberley Town
Berkhamsted or Morpeth Town or North Shields v Bristol Manor Farm
Ipswich Wanderers or Bowers & Pitsea v Kidlington
Ties to be played on Saturday February 20
