Margate will be looking to book their place in the Emirates FA Cup First Qualifying Round tonight as they take on Cobham in a Preliminary Round Replay at Hartsdown Park.
The two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in Surrey on Saturday, with Cobham forcing a replay courtesy of a dramatic 91st-minute equaliser that denied the Blues victory on the road.
Manager Ben Greenhalgh will be hoping home advantage proves decisive this evening, with a trip to fellow Isthmian South East side Deal Town awaiting the winners of the tie.
Greenhalgh will be without striker Louie Atkins, who is set to miss the next couple of weeks after sustaining a knee injury. Otherwise, he should have a full squad at his disposal.
Saturday’s match report can be read here, and highlights are available to watch on GATEtv here.
The weekend’s clash marked the first-ever meeting between Margate and Cobham, meaning tonight will also be the visitors’ first trip to Hartsdown Park.
