Juniors prove a Scottish Cup hit

Veteran Stevie Mallan scored for Auchinleck and was then sent off

A high-scoring Scottish Cup first-round day proved a good one for the five clubs from the junior ranks.

Auchinleck Talbot, winners of the Scottish Junior Cup eight times, hammered perennial Highland League strugglers Fort William 7-0.

Irvine Meadow were 2-0 winners at Brora, while Banks O'Dee hammered Rothes 5-1 away from home.

Girvan beat Glasgow University 4-1 away, but Bonnyrigg Rose were held to a 1-1 draw at Fraserburgh.

This is the third season when the leading members of the Junior FA have qualified for the Scottish Cup.
