The tie will take place at Grosvenor Vale on the weekend of 17 October, with the date and kick-off time to be confirmed.
The Stones are currently 19th in the National League, having won three, drawn three and lost six of their opening 12 matches. One of those defeats came at the hands of the Rebels back in August, when Ramell Carter’s strike was enough to secure a first-ever National League win on home soil.
The club will be looking to match the achievements of the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons by reaching the first round of the competition for the seventh time in its history.
Last season saw the Reds bow out at the fourth qualifying round stage, losing 4-1 to Forest Green Rovers at the Sussex Transport Community Stadium in front of the TNT Sports cameras in Adam Hinshelwood’s first match of his third spell in charge of the club.
