This is Kent

KENT Ryman Premier sides Margate, Maidstone United and Tonbridge Angels will all start their FA Cup campaign with home matches.

In first round qualifying Margate will face fellow Premier side Sutton United at Hartsmere Park while Maidstone will host either Bedfont, Binfield, Colliers Wood United or Crowborough Athletic.

Tonbridge Angels will entertain either Metropolitian Police, Chertsey Town or Chessington and Hook United.

Cray Wanderers have been drawn away to either Fleet Town or Walton & Hersham, while Dartford must travel to take on either Burgess Hill Town or Chipstead.

Of the county's Ryman South sides, if Ashford Town win their home preliminary round game against either Peacehavan & Telscombe or Mile Oak, they will be away at either Leatherhead or Bedfont Green in the next round.

There could be a big Kent derby in the first qualifying round with Folkestone Invicta drawn at home to Sittingbourne. However first Invicta will have to overcome AFC Hayes and the Brickies either Dorking or Horley Town.

Chatham Town will start their cup campaign at home to either Eastbourne United or Redhill in the preliminary round.

Ramsgate and Whitstable Town will also enter the competition at the preliminary round stage.

Jim Ward's Rams are away to either Guildford City or St Francis Rangers and, if they win that tie, then at home to either Camberley Town, East Preston or Gosport Borough.

Whitstable have been drawn away to either Kent League side Lordswood or Oakwood.

The winner of that game will host Carshalton Athletic in the next round.

There is a mouthwatering Kent League derby in the extra preliminary round with Tunbridge Wells hosting Sevenoaks Town.

The winner will then travel to face Ryman South side Dulwich Hamlet. And if they win that will then face either Cobham, Littlehampton Town or VT, away once more.

There's another Kent League derby when Slade Green host Faversham Town, with the winner then away to Merstham.

Progress to the first qualifying round would mean a trip to either Eastbourne Town, Hythe Town or Whitehawk.

Hythe are away to Whitehawk in the extra preliminary round.

Deal Town will start at home to Arundel, and if that win that be at home again, to either Egham Town or Ringmer.

Victory in that game would mean a first qualifying round tie at home to Epson & Ewell, Lancing, Selsey or Wealden.

Herne Bay have been drawn away to Southwick in the extra preliminary round. Their reward for victory there would be an away game at either Hailsham or Lingfield.
