R2:
Harthill Royal 1-0 Edinburgh University

Quite astonishing news from the very fringe of easterndom as Harthill of tier 9 - indeed who came bottom of the entire Scottish league system in May - eliminated LL side Edinburgh Uni of tier 5.

Just Haddington and Blackburn overcoming league status in last night's round of EoS Cup fixtures?
Good performance from Blackburn but probably the biggest talking point from the game was the referee adding 12 and a half minutes in the second half. When it got to 6 added minutes most folk genuinely thought his watch was broken 😄

happy enough for the ref to do that if he deems thats what should be added, however there needs to be consistency with all the refs especially at this level to make that work

No linesman either, not even club linos?

Results of the midweek go to Haddington for their win at CSS and West Calder for theirs at Newtongrange. Otherwise very routine - bar Blackburn beating HV and Bathgate beating Arniston.

How Lochore only scored 1 goal last night is a mystery! they played Lochgelly off the park but the visitors back line and keeper plus some wild attempts at goal meant a nervy end to the game when Lochgelly had two free kicks within shooting range of the goal. The first hit the wall and the second the trees behind the goal.

An excellent game, no one held back from any challenges but players just got up and got on with it.

There was also around 120-150 people there which was good for a midweek when many of the locals "big team" was on free to air TV

Aye club linos but I recognised the ref and from past experience he can be just a wee bit "idiosyncratic". Besides the Blackburn lino might have been distracted making sure it was ok to keep the lights on past midnight 😄

If it takes 80 minutes / 60 miles to get from one team to another in that Linton / Coldstream “derby”, then every other tie in R2 must also be a derby, as each tie is closer? 

Great news! There can’t have been a cup draw in history which has thrown up such a plethora of local derbies.
