SWINDON Supermarine have been drawn at home to National League South promotion-chasers Dartford in the second round of the FA Trophy.
After Marine thumped Winchester City 5-0 in the first round on Saturday, Monday's draw pulled Lee Spalding's men out against the second-toughest team they could have faced at this stage, according to league placings.
Dartford are second in the tier above Marine, having won 11 of their 16 league games so far, while the Spitfires are sixth in Southern Premier South with wins from half of their 14 outings.
The second-round tie will take place at the Webbswood Stadium on Saturday, November 19 with a 3pm kick-off. Should the fixture end in a draw, the contest will go straight to penalties as there are no replays.
Winners of second-round ties receive £3,750 while losers take home £1,000.
