Full draw listed here:

After what seems like umpteen years common sense has finally prevailed and Berwick are no longer lumped in with the Dumfries & Galloway clubs in the 'South' section. I still think it would be far better to regionalise North, East and West rather than North, Central and South but at least our repositioning avoids a particularly glaring bit of bad logic. That said there is quite an inequity in the allocation of places - the Central zone with 24 clubs receives 10 slots to R3 (42%), the North with 15 clubs gets 5 (34%), but the South with 4 clubs gets just 1 (25%).

Very poor show by HL clubs - despite having Aberdeenshire & North of Scotland U20s league teams the big boys Buckie, Cove and Brora haven't bothered entering nor have Forres, Huntly and Alness (of North Caledonian). Only other no-show is Edinburgh Uni with all other Lowland & East of Scotland U20 league clubs entering including all 3 other unis/colleges.

Montrose appear to be putting a team together especially, or using U17s? - and despite quiting U20s league Rangers, Inverness and Dunfermline all feature too.

Good win for WW, but they nearly committed hari-kari, 3-1 up and cruising, gave away a needless penalty and skipper sent off, almost a repeat of last week at BSC. 4 or 5 of the lads have first team experience which probably counted in their favour.

Aye some of the WW guys were just a wee bit older and more experienced than some of our guys. Only Lyle Kellichan had played for the 1st team (coming on as a 2nd half sub v Raith). First team regulars Cammy Muirhead and Ryan Connelly would have been eligible for the game but obviously being kept for next Saturday's game.

As you say you nearly threw it away good save by the keeper and the post got you through in the end, good luck v EK.

Meh, I know where you are coming from re the relative positions of the senior sides of Airdrie and EK but it's not really that impressive. They are both playing in the same level of Development League West this season and from what I've heard EK are a stronger outfit at 20's level than Airdrie, though it is possible some of their 20's who more often play 1st team played this weekend given they didn't have a first team game. I don't know what team they put out. I certainly expected EK to win though.

Keith won 2-0 at Lossiemouth. Deveronvale beat Formartine 2-1.


It seems that 13 of the 16 ties in R2 have got dates so far... Tynecastle v Cumbernauld is this Sunday... LTHV v Stirling Albion, Edusport v BSCG and St Mirren v Heriot-Watt Uni are a week on Friday... 8 ties are on usual date of a week on Sunday... Hamilton v Queen's Park is a week on Monday.

Turriff v Keith, Albion Rovers v Alloa plus Edinburgh City v Raith seem still unconfirmed.

Edinburgh City v Raith also a week on Sunday - other 2 ties remain 'date tbc'.

Some interesting venues among the mix. Tynecastle use Saughton Enclosure, their first-team venue; St Mirren play at Airdrie; and Stranraer v Selkirk in the 'southern' section is at... Renfrew!

Poor Raith Rovers according to the referee's appointments they have away games at both Edinburgh City and Albion Rovers:lol:

Think i'll have a trip down to Shippy's game with Livi.
