Grove Menzieshill`s interest in the men’s Scottish Cup almost took a nose dive against Uddingston, but the Taysiders finally progressed into round three on the back of a successful penalty shoot-out.

Paul Martin put Grove Menzieshill into the lead but the advantage evaporated as the Lanarkshire side marched into a 4-1 lead, Bradley Hughes notched a hat-trick while Shazini Rani got the other.

The Dundonians were given a lifeline when Aidan McQuade converted a double from the penalty spot. Parity was achieved before full time with an equaliser from Jamie Golden to take the tie to penalties. Grove Menzieshill finally progressed in the competition with a 3-2 win in the shoot-out with Albert Rowling, McQuade and Jamie Carnegie the successful takers.

In the other all-National League 1 confrontation Western Wildcats saw off a plucky Hillhead in an entertaining 3-2 win at Old Anniesland.

It was an easier passage for the other first division sides, Edinburgh University beat their Glasgow counterparts 3-1, Davyn Keuter scored twice while Matthew White got the other

Grange beat FMGM Monarchs 22-1 while Clydesdale were given a walkover by Falkirk.
