Scottish Cup: Preston and St Cuthbert Wanderers through

  • Published

Preston Athletic and St Cuthbert Wanderers both progressed to the first round of the Scottish Cup after overcoming respective preliminary round opponents Fort William and Keith.

Sean Martin scored either side of David Forbes' equaliser as Preston led 2-1 at the break and Kevin Morrison registered the visitors' late third.

There was only one goal in the other tie, Craig Rudd netting on the hour-mark before Keith's Garry Macnamee was sent off for a second bookable offence in the closing stages.

St Cuthbert Wanderers face an away tie against Edinburgh University in round one while Preston will be at home to Nairn County, with the ties taking place on 25 August.
