Mixed fortunes in the Scottish up north as the Gowfers move on while The Chee suffer a suprise drubbing in Caithness. Losing their 70+ talisman Grady McGrath from last season seems not to have done Craigie any harm.

Arbroath & Carnoustie the only Midlands sides to prevail in in inter-regional Junior Cup ties while East Craigie win the sole all Midlands tie. Lochee United losing to St. Rochs & Letham falling to Newmachar United are surprises. Comfortable win for United against West End on league duty in the Forfar derby.

You’ve overlooked Tayport  7 Ardeer Thistle 1 in the inter-regional ties.

Knew Hurlford would be a very big test for Downfield and a loss looked very likely, but that result is very disappointing. Will just have to pull things together again for the game vs Letham next week.

@Marten what is going on with Lochee Utd? Really been sluggish of late, but also since the start of the season.

Hope @Marten is making a weekend of it rather than just driving up from Dundee and back again.. 

Sorry for the late response, I've had a few rather busy days this week so I haven't really been on here. But yes, I made a weekend of it. I had a cracking time to be fair, just a shame about those last 55 minutes of football. ;) 

In fairness, Wick were great hosts, very friendly & welcoming towards us. Even though we were poor, they clearly improved massively from their pounding against BoD. They played some good football.

Just not good enough this season, really as simple as that. We lost some good players and haven't been able to replace them properly. We have some good youngsters coming through so for the longer term (providing we can keep them) we should be able to build something again, but they are currently too young to solely rely on. Discipline is a big issue though, too many silly bookings & sending offs. Constant arguing with the referee doesn't help either. The management will really need to do more on that.

Any more clubs trying for licencing this year? With Lochee United and Tayport not looking too threatening for the title this season it looks like no Midland team in the playoffs again, if they happen at all. It would be quite funny if Fort William end up bouncing straight back, the BBC documentary makers would come in their pants.
