FA Trophy- Second Round Qualifying- draw made

The draw for the Second Qualifying Round of the Buildbase FA Trophy was made earlier today, and it left us with a collection of all-Isthmian ties and potentially some rather long journeys for our clubs.

Haywards Heath Town will travel to Royston Town, conquerors of Brightlingsea Regent at the weekend- but that could be like popping next door when compared to the journey of Kingstonian, who might well have to travel to Truro City. Aveley will have a trek whatever happens, either to Taunton or to Wimbourne, whilst Potters Bar Town could be off to Wales if Merthyr win their replay.

A little more local, Basildon United's reward for their magnificent victory on Saturday isa home tie with Hornchurch, whilst we've a Sussex derby as Whitehawk travel to Hastings United.

Perhaps the most intriguing tie sees our league leaders, Folkestone Invicta, travel to face the standout performers from the entire league, Maldon & Tiptree.

Here are the bits of the draw that include our clubs:

15 Barking or Margate v Tooting & Mitcham United
