We are. All we hope is that we are competitive.

Lanark 2 Blantyre 1 Another good result against a team in a higher division. Missed yet another penalty! Must be 7 we have missed this season. Blantyre played almost 2/3 of game with 10 men. Neither team played well today and suffice to say our keeper was our MoM. Good to see some old Yowes back in Lanark - Gibby, Jack, Hendo and BIG Chris Walker- he is a unit!

Excellent result. Well done. Newmains did really well today too, as did Muirkirk, Carluke and ourselves

I hope we are drawn against a team that we have not played before. Home or away. Luncarty sounds good.

Excellent result for Lanark in the Scottish today against Wishaw completing the task they should have taken care of last weekend. Ironic that we scored 2 penalties, having missed so many this season already, including last weekend.

Wishaw 1 Lanark 1 Away team were very unlucky not to win this tie. Dominated the first half, missed an early 2nd half penalty after which the game became more even. Drama in injury time when Chucky Watt lobbed their keeper, ball bounced up, hit the bar and our ex manager and stalwart Paul Burns cleared off the line!

He will be a big loss to us as I was confident he would shake them up.

Having beaten Whittletts in the last round we must be in with a shout at Wishaw tomorrow, albeit still as outsiders.

We have still to play Muirkirk. Annbank tried to play some decent stuff when we played down there.

Johnstone 0 LANARK 4

Johnstone Burgh 0 Lanark 4Good win although this scoreline flattered us today. JB were well in the game for most of it and although we missed a few, we saved 3 off the line and our keeper had a couple of cracking saves.Lost the legend that is Shug to a red at 0-4 for retaliation after he had been wiped out, which is unfortunate. Thankfully he was not the only one to see red in the incident. JB had the least athletic looking keeper I have ever seen today. To be fair he was not at fault for anything and his distribution was good. Like the JB captain. Looks a good player.

Indeed they did and had a couple of good chances that, if taken could have put us under pressure but even the non Lanark supporters that I spoke to stated that we were by far and away the better team, even if we weren't as sharp as we've been.

Seriously? So you are saying that for 65 minutes Forth were the better team? Ryan had FIVE superb saves plus the penalty. It was a penalty all day long.

Lanark 4 Forth 2Well deserved win takes us to the top of the table.3-0 at half time.Ex Lanark man Ryan Cherrie had 5 wonderful saves for Forth to keep the score line respectable plus saved a penalty to deprive Shug Kerr his 3rd consecutive league hat trickPitch was in excellent condition despite all the rain

LANARK v Forth derby is ON!
