Farnham stay fifth and host Ebbsfleet in an all-South FA Trophy tie, then visit second-placed Maidstone

Wednesday 11 November 2026 · By Clifford Langley

Farnham Town remain fifth in the National League South and they host the leaders, Ebbsfleet United, in an all-South FA Trophy second-round tie on Saturday, before a league visit to second-placed Maidstone United on 21 November. Paul Johnson’s side did not play in midweek. Their most recent league result is the 3–1 home win over Tonbridge Angels on 7 November, when R. Korboa gave the visitors a 15th-minute lead and M. Lavinier, Darryl Sanders and Bobby-Joe Taylor scored for Farnham, at 38, 71 and 88 minutes.

They have 29 points from 16 matches, three behind Maidstone and six behind Ebbsfleet, who drew 2–2 at Chelmsford City on Monday and now have 35. The BBC form line is LWWLWW, four wins in six. Saturday’s Trophy meeting is the first of two meetings with the leaders in quick succession to be set against the promotion race, and the trip to Maidstone a week later is a further test of whether they can close the gap on the automatic place and on the sides immediately above them.

After Maidstone they host 18th-placed Maidenhead United at 7.45pm on Tuesday 24 November. First place is promoted automatically, and second to seventh contest the play-offs. Salisbury have climbed to third on 31 from 15, Truro City are fourth on 30 from 14, and Dorking Wanderers and Billericay Town complete the play-off places on 27 and 26.

Ebbsfleet have scored 38 league goals, the most in the division, and have only one league defeat in 16, the 0–3 reverse at Truro on 31 October. Farnham themselves have scored 32, among the higher tallies in the table. No first-team league or Trophy game is scheduled today.

The BBC table was last updated at 07:36 on 11 November and already includes Monday’s and Tuesday’s results, none of which involved Farnham. Chelmsford and Dagenham & Redbridge are both on 25, one point off seventh.

The BBC table, last updated at 07:36 on 11 November, shows Farnham Town 5th on 29 points from 16 matches, with a record of 9 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. They have scored 32 and conceded 20, for a goal difference of plus 12. That snapshot already includes Chelmsford City against Ebbsfleet United on Monday and the two league games of Tuesday 10 November. Farnham Town occupy a play-off place.

The next first-team programme is the FA Trophy second round on Saturday 14 November, with ties listed at 3pm. Bedford host Chesham, Braintree host Kettering, AFC Telford host Chelmsford, Hednesford host Hemel, and Billericay host Waltham Abbey. Dagenham host Dorking, Walton host Aveley, Farnham host Ebbsfleet, Folkestone host Cray Wanderers, and Weymouth host Hampton. Dartford host Totton, Horsham host Torquay, Didcot host Slough, Maidstone host Maidenhead, and Whitehawk host Tonbridge.
