Ebbsfleet United have been drawn at home to Kent rivals Bromley in the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy.

Mark Goldberg's side are top of the Skrill South, while the Fleet - who won the Trophy in 2008 - are just a point outside the play-offs.

It is the second time in four seasons the sides have been paired in this competition. Ebbsfleet won 4-0 at Stonebridge Road when they met at the same stage in 2010/11.

Kent's other Skrill South clubs have both been handed home draws.

Dover Athletic will host Bath City, who they beat 2-0 in the league in September. The Whites are currently three points and three places above their Trophy opponents.

Monday's draw handed Tonbridge Angels a home tie against AFC Sudbury, who are sitting eighth in Ryman League Division 1 North.

Of the seven Kent clubs involved in the second qualifying round at the weekend, only two made it through at the first attempt.

Margate while host Chesham United while their Thanet neighbours, Ramsgate, are set for a trip north to play Daventry Town.

An away day at Ryman League Premier Division strugglers Carshalton awaits Whitstable Town after they came through 2-1 in Wednesday's replay against Hythe Town.

Maidstone United will host Skrill South big spenders Eastleigh next after beating Wealdstone 1-0 in a replay on Tuesday night.

The ties will be played over the weekend of November 16.
