"As Lowland League met Highland League on Saturday, the serious opinion among many at K Park was that, in five to 10 years' time, 'Kilby' will be well established in Scottish senior football." |
There was a goalless stalemate between East Fife and Stirling Albion at New Bayview and Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale drew with Montrose.
Nairn County and Wick Academy will also require a replay after County's Sam Urquhart struck late to level the scores at 2-2.
Matches at Fort William and Turriff were postponed due to adverse weather.
