Hawks will host National League South rivals Billericay Town in the FA Cup third round qualifying stage.

Paul Doswell's men, who defeated Southern League Premier South side Beaconsfield 5-3 in the previous round on Saturday, are two wins away from making into the first round proper for the second season running.

Last term, Hawks were stunned by lowly Marine and missed out on a massive third round meeting with Premier League Tottenham Hotspur.

But the Westleigh Park outfit will be looking to progress in this season's competition against struggling Billericay.

Kevin Watson's men have picked up just a point from their opening five National League South matches but did beat league rivals Braintree on Saturday to make it through to face Hawks.

Should Hawks make it through they will pocket £5,625 in competition prize money. The third round qualifying tie will be played over the weekend of October 2.
