Who will they get in the draw?

Second round draw announced on Monday.
Due to our progress in the FA Vase over the last few seasons, the Crows have received a bye until the second round proper for the 2018/19 season.
The first round proper games were played on Saturday, 13th October so the draw for the second round proper will be made on Monday, 15th October and the Crows should know by 1:00pm who their opponents will be on Saturday, 3rd November, the date scheduled for the second round proper games to be played.
Whilst the squad we have this season is totally different to the one we have had in recent campaigns, there's no doubt that the players we have representing us now will be doing everything they can to make their own piece of FA Vase history.
Many of the current squad will be making their FA Vase debuts and if they show the same amount of togetherness, effort and commitment, allied to the talent they are displaying, then who is to say they will not get to the third round proper in December.
Local clubs who are still in the tournament following the first round proper results are Peacehaven & Telscombe who won 3-2 away at Redhill, Chatham Town who also won away, 2-0 at Sidlesham.
Also, Sheppey United eased through by beating visitors East Preston 4-0, Lordswood went through by winning 3-0 away at Wick FC, our next opposition in the league, Corinthian FC went through as they beat fellow SCEFL Premier Division side Deal Town 3-2 at home with a last minute winner.
Other teams through are Erith Town, Bearsted, Pagham, AFC Croydon Athletic, Newhaven, AFC Uckfield Town, Stenying Town and Cray Valley PM are waiting to see what the FA decide following their game away being abandoned in extra-time due to a serious injury suffered by the home goalkeeper which required a need to call for an ambulance and a hospital visit. Let's hope the goalkeeper is okay.
So there are a few interesting possibilities for the Crows and we will find out soon who we get paired with. As soon as we do the information will be supplied via the website, Twitter and Facebook accounts the club has.
