The first preliminary round ties are worth £,1444 to the winners, with the losers getting the consolation of £481.

Aveley continue their journey in the National League South with a trip to Worthing, who are coming off the back of a fantastic 3-0 away victory at Torquay United, followed up by midweek success by beating Slough Town 4-1 away.

The Millers, are coming off the back of back to back wins after a 4-1 victory of their own against Taunton Town and then a 2-0 victory over full time Eastbourne Borough on Monday night, which included a stunning strike from Jon Benton and a first goal for the club for Matt Rush to seal the victory.
