DOVER Athletic and Bishops Stortford battle it out again tonight to decide who will meet Kings Lynn at home in the FA Cup 1st round.

Last Saturday's fourth qualifying round tie between the two sides ended goalless in front of a 1,475 crowd at Crabble.

Long-standing Dover supporter Simon Harris, who watched Saturday's game, said last night: "They were two evenly matched sides, in spite of the difference in league status.

"It could be a very long night on Tuesday and I can see it going to penalties."

Although Whites couldn’t quite conjure up a winner in an absorbing tie on Saturday, they made light of a two division gap between the sides.

Whites’ best chance came when Craig Wilkins nodded on to set up Nick Humphrey after a set piece had initially been repelled.

Humphrey lashed the ball wide when he should have at least tested the visitors' keeper Chris Wright.
