Our Opponents:
The Rams and their manager Ben Smith need no introduction and both teams will know each other well after last season's title race which went to the wire. This season the Rams have a 100% league record winning all five of their opening Isthmian South East Division games and are currently in third place with games in hand.

They have though suffered defeat in their last two outings, on Saturday in the Emirates FA Cup going down 4-1 at Brackley Town and the previous midweek they went out of the Kent Senior Cup losing 1-0 at home to Margate. Prior to that wins in the FA Trophy against Sheppey United and Raynes Park Vale have brought them to today's third qualifying round. This is the only cup competition in which they remain having earlier lost on penalties to Sevenoaks Town in the opening round of the Velocity League Cup.

As was the case last season leading the goalscoring charts for the Rams, now club captain, is Joe Taylor, with 13 goals from 13 league and cup appearances.

The Millers:
The two sides have never met in the FA Trophy before. Steve McKimm will once again be looking to utilise his squad with a number of injuries and the suspension of Cem Tumkaya following his dismissal at Hendon on Saturday. On loan Fumnaya Shomotun will be available, Tonbridge Angels having given permission for him to play. There is also likely to be a new face in the ranks with a signing anticipated to be registered before Friday's midday deadline. As always it promises to be compelling. Hope to see you there.
