Stirling Uni  ::)

 

Won the East of Scotland League this year on goal difference from Spartans. Would not have qualified for the Scottish Cup otherwise as ground does not meet entry requirements.

 

Hermes from Aberdeen also in the Cup this year after winning North Super League.

Fort William 1-3 Preston Ath

 

Keith 0-1 St Cuthberts Wanderes

 

Bit surprised at Keith losing to St Cuthberts as South league is pretty weak league. Saw Keith last week and they looked decent side and would have thought they would have stuck away St Cuthberts without much problem.
