FA Trophy first round draw

Ebbsfleet United will entertain local rivals Welling United in the FA Trophy first round.

Wings player-boss Jamie Day has been linked with the vacant manager's position at Stonebridge Road following the sacking of Steve Brown last week.

Daryl McMahon is in caretaker charge of the Fleet for now and he led his side to a 1-0 win over Hendon in the third qualifying round on Saturday.

Dartford will also be at home in the first round, against Solihull Moors of Vanarama Conference North.

Tony Burman's side, who reached the Trophy semi-finals two seasons ago, face a tricky test against a Moors side sitting fifth in the division below them.

Dover Athletic will make the long trip to Suffolk to play Lowestoft Town. The Trawler Boys are 16th in Conference North and they won at Eastbourne Borough in the last round.

The winners of the replay between Bromley and Tonbridge Angels at Hayes Lane on Tuesday will be at home to Ryman League Premier Division promotion hopefuls Leiston.

Angels held Bromley to a 0-0 draw in the first meeting on Saturday.

The ties will be played over the weekend of December 13.
