Kelty away to Civil Service Strollers or Newton Stewart in the Scottish Cup.

Was good to get a bye, dont know a lot about either side other than where they are based.

Civil Service Strollers

East of Scotland Premier Division (Finished 5th)

Founded: 1908

Last Scottish Cup: First Round (lost to Forres Mechanics)

Interesting Fact: Play in the Muirhouse area of Edinburgh, the same place Scotland boss Gordon Strachan grew up.

Civil Service Strollers Football Club are a senior non-league football team from Edinburgh, Scotland currently playing in the East of Scotland Football League.

Founded in 1908 under the name Edinburgh Civil Service Football Club, their first ground was the Stenhouse Stadium, which later became a venue for greyhound racing, before moving to Pinkhill Stadium in the 1920s. They moved to the Edinburgh Area Civil Service Sports Association in Muirhouse in 1957 where they continue to play their home games today.

The Club are full members of the Scottish Football Association and are represented in the Scottish Cup.

Newton Stewart Football Club

South of Scotland Football League (2nd)

Founded: 1884

Last Scottish Cup: Preliminary Round (lost to Hawick Royal Albert)

NSFC are a football club from the town of Newton Stewart in the Dumfries and Galloway area of Scotland. Formed in 1884, they are nicknamed the Creesiders, because the town stands on the banks of the River Cree.

They compete in the South of Scotland Football League, which they have won on three separate occasions. Home matches are played at Blairmount Park, which holds around 1,500 spectators. Blairmount Park is part of 4 football venues in Dumfries and Galloway which play on a 4G pitch.

Newton Stewart's Home strip colours are black and white stripes away Shirt is Navy and Pink.

As a full member of the Scottish Football Association, the club can play in the Scottish Cup

You'll be favourites to progress.

Civil Service finished mid-table in the EOS Premier Division but have been recruiting some decent players by EOSL standards. I would expect them to beat Newton Stewart, but would expect you to beat them. However, it's the Scottish Cup, who knows!!

Took in Kelty vs Oakley last night. Much changed Oakley team from when last I saw them about a year ago.

Kelty dominated possession and should have won by more than 2-0 but Oakley did well in patches. Few younger boys started for Kelty and looked decent. Was impressed by Scott Gates for Kelty, he's a flying machine. Thought the sending off was harsh for a friendly but a player off that experiance should know better than to get involved in that stuff.

Looking forward to watching Kelty again this season and sure they will be up there again.

Surely ref could have used his common sense and asked the management to take the player off instead of red carding him....now the player will face a ban because of this after all it was a friendly

No mate he had to go off,was silly reaction after he had avoided a wild and potential leg breaker of a tackle from a young boy,shouldn't have reacted the way he did but was lucky he seen the tackle coming as well.

Match highlights from Saturday's match against Newtongrange.

Obviously not the result we wanted but plenty of positives to take, created 5/6 great chances limited Newtongrange to 2 and dominated the match from start to finish.

Still 7 top players to come back into the squad, Sean O'Neil, Garry Leighton, Brian Ritchie, Shaun Greig, Stephen Husband, Craig O'Reilly and Scott Dalziel.

We need to go again on Wednesday away to Sauchie who had a good result at the weekend.
