It’s the second round of the Scottish Junior Cup on Saturday with substantial local interest as sides look to reach the last 32 of the competition.
There’s an all McBookie.com NRJFA Premier league encounter at Glenury Park where Stonehaven are up against Grill League Cup finalists Culter while their opponents in that final, East End, make the short trip to Heathryfold to play Championship leaders Sunnybank.
At Milton Park, Banchory St Ternan will be hoping home advantage gives them the edge when Gartcairn make the journey north and at The Meadows, Ellon United will have their work cut out against East side Bathgate Thistle.
Thorniewood United are at Logie Park to face Forres Thistle, Montrose Roselea host Shotts Bon Accord at Links Park while in-form Newmachar United welcome Letham to Charlie Gordon Park with the winners meeting Sunnybank or East End in the third round.
Rothie Rovers host the biggest match of their history when Glenafton Athletic, winners of the Cup in 1993 and 2017 and managed by former Hearts star Ryan Stevenson, come to Rothienorman while Stoneywood Parkvale meets Bellshill Athletic at Arjo Wiggins Park.
