GRAVESEND & Northfleet will travel to play fellow Nationwide Conference side Northwich Victoria in the quarter-final of the FA Trophy while Conference South side Welling United have been handed a home draw against holders Grays Athletic.

Goals from Charlie MacDonald and Mark DeBolla secured Fleet's place in the last eight as the club beat Rushden & Diamonds 2-1 on Saturday.

Liam Daish's side will travel in confident mood, having already won 2-1 at Northwich in the league in November.

The tie involving the other Kent side will see Welling striker Danny Kedwell come up against the club that made two unsuccessful bids to sign him this season.

Adrian Pennock's outfit booked their place in the quarter-finals by beating Worcester City 2- 1.

Both ties will be played on Saturday, February 24.
