Afternoon of "what could have been" - since Dunbar, Kinnoull, Musselburgh and Blackburn all pushed their hosts close... but ultimately lost. Penicuik and Edinburgh South suffered against stronger and higher opponents plus Glenrothes had a surprisingly bad afternoon at Maybole.

Striking wins by Linlithgow and Sauchie.

Looks like a very close game in Denny.

Third Division put up a fine showing. Fauldhouse came back against Leith last night; Daramola blew away Inverkeithing in 2nd half; Stoneyburn pushed Newtongrange to ET.

Goodness only knows what Jeanfield were doing. Decent showing from SOSL actually.

LTHV host Kello tomorrow.

Tiwi Daramola is far too good for Tier 9.     Surprised if he doesn't get a move at the end of the season.

Most of BU team ain’t good enough for tier 5… 

Players enjoy being part of a club with vision, direction and a togetherness that they can then move up into a level that best suits their character, position and attitude. Tiwi will make it. It’s a matter of which team and when the time is right.

Cumnock v Troon
Fauldhouse United v Sauchie
Gartcairn v Bo'ness Athletic
Glenafton Athletic v Drumchapel United
Kilwinning Rangers v Lothian Thistle HV/Kello Rovers
Lochar Thistle v Maryhill
Maybole v Clydebank
Newton Stewart v University of Stirling/Darvel
Newtongrange Star v Shotts Bon Accord/Dundonald Bluebell

Threave Rovers/(Lesmahagow/Whitletts Victoria) v St Cadocs
Tranent v Linlithgow Rose
Vale of Clyde v Luncarty/Thornton Hibs



Tough draw.

Tie of the round undoubtedly Tranent v Linlithgow: an epic encounter in prospect. Formidable but very attractive trips for Broxburn and Dunipace - similarly LTHV, if win today. As away draws go Bo'ness Athletic's and Luncarty/Thornton's are decent.

Sauchie visit Fauldhouse and Dundonald (if beat Shotts) visit Newtongrange.

There have been many excellent cup weekends for this league since the great exodus but today (even allowing for a tough draw) must be the worst: just Dundonald and Sauchie progressing - admittedly both by convincing margins. Bo'ness Athletic led 0-2 with 4mins to go, and 2-3 in ET, but went out 4-3 aet. Broxburn collapsed in 2nd half.

Magnificent efforts from Sauchie who came from behind to beat Cumnock aet and Dundonald who twice came back from behind against LL leaders only to lose on penalties.

Shock win for Gartcairn.

Sauchie 1-4 Drumchapel United

They couldn't...

Bad day for Sauchie who fell behind, levelled, fell behind again with 20min left and conceded twice chasing equaliser.

Shocks were widespread as Gartcairn also stunned Kilwinning while Caledonian Braves edged Auchinleck.


SFs:

Caledonian Braves v Spartans
