Several extremely attractive ties there IMO.

Decent prospects for EOSL too.

Jeanfield Swifts 3-2 Darvel

Outstanding win for Jeanfield - over an opponent amongst the cream of the West of Scotland League who have beaten the likes of Stranraer, Brechin, Auchinleck and Pollok this season.

Contrary to predictions only a single WOSL side will feature in SFs unless Petershill can negotiate 2 tough away ties.

Swifts raced into an early 3-0 lead their visitors were unable to fully recover.

They'll face an equally formidable task when hosting Spartans in QFs.

Darvel are going to be playing Mon-Wed-Sat over the next few weeks to clear their league fixture backlog, so may not have been prioritising this competition. They still have a shot at promotion to the LL and the Killie pie man appears to be keen to do another Kelty type rise into the SPFL with them.

Dundonald Bluebell 0-4 Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic
Linlithgow Rose 1-3 Sauchie


Dundonald met their match in LL champions; while Sauchie continued their excellent run since turn of year and blew away Linlithgow... they'll visit East Kilbride in QFs.

Sauchie seem to be doing well in the cups this season, wouldn't put it past them to challenge EK.

If Bonnyrigg get through against Boness/Petershill, their semi-final final will surely need to be moved as they are in pyramid play-off action that day?

Linlithgow blew themselves away by having 2 sent off in the same incident in 1st half when it was 1-1.

dunno mate think they might make them play 2 games on the same day

Aye suppose I should worded it differently and been clearer - was just thinking that Bonnyrigg wouldn't want it midweek during their important play-offs, but the only other option is to bring it forward to the 16th (last day of the league season).

Cracker of a result for Sauchie.

Superb result for Sauchie against a leading Lowland team, who have also won this cup a record number of times. They'll go to Auchinleck with no fear.

Gutting for Jeanfield... they led 3-1 only to be pegged back and ultimately lose in ET.

Spartans 1-4 Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic

LL champions Bonnyrigg blew away their hosts on a tempestuous night to seal a Final place.

So grim were conditions even by Pilton standards all but the hardiest of a large attendance crowded the grandstand, pavilion and emergency pizzeria in search of shelter.

Rose netted a pair either side of HT - including #3 straight off the training ground. Spartans effort, while perhaps the goal of the night, was scant consolation.

East Kilbride alone have previously managed 'the double' of LL + South Challenge Cup... Whitehill, Spartans (thrice) and Uni of Stirling managed it in pre-pyramid days.
