BASINGSTOKE Town face a trip to fellow Conference South outfit Ebbsfleet United in the Third Qualifying Round of the FA Cup.

The Dragons beat Bridgwater Town 2-0 on Saturday to put their name in the hat for the draw, which took place at Wembley this morning.

Having been switched from the south west section of the draw to the south east, Town were handed another away tie in the next round.

They will travel to Kent to face Ebbsfleet United on Saturday, October 11, with a place in the fourth and final qualifying round at stake.

Ebbsfleet were pre-season favourites to win the Vanarama Conference South title and have made a decent start, taking 16 points from their first nine matches. They sit fifth in the table, two places and two points behind Town.

The sides have already met once this season, Basingstoke claiming a 1-0 victory at The Soccer AM Stadium thanks to an excellent strike from Shaun McAuley.
