The draw has been made for the first round of the FA Trophy - with one Kent derby of added significance.
It will be a third meeting of the season between Dover Athletic and Sittingbourne after they met in the FA Cup earlier this year.
Sittingbourne, 2-0 up in the FA Cup tie before being pegged back late on, won at Crabble in a first qualifying round replay.
The teams have been paired together again in the FA Trophy with Dover handed home advantage in the first round tie.
All of our other teams are on the road. Chatham will face fellow Isthmian Premier side Bowers & Pitsea.
Danny Kedwell takes his Ashford side, 1-0 winners over Walton & Hersham on Saturday, to Lewes while Cray Valley have been drawn away to Brentwood.
