It's a case of happiness begins at home for south Essex teams still competing in this season's AXA sponsored FA Cup.

Both Billericay Town and Canvey Island have been drawn to host Dr Martens League Premier Division sides in the fourth qualifying round, where winning teams collect big prize money of £20,000.

Former FA Carlsberg Vase winners Tiverton Town visit New Lodge, while Gulls will entertain Stafford Rangers.

The winners of the Grays Athletic v Purfleet third qualifying round replay tonight (Tuesday) will also be at home to Nationwide Conference opposition in the shape of Kent visitors Margate.

There's also a chance of a second Cup tie at New Lodge for, if Billericay's tenants Chelmsford City win their replay at Harlow, they will also be at home.

The ties are due to be played on Saturday October 27 and other outstanding ties see Dagenham and Redbridge, the current Conference leaders, visiting Ryman League Basingstoke.
