Forfar Athletic FC v Inverness CT
Kicking off the Scottish FA Youth Cup Second Round was Forfar Athletic against Inverness CT at Station Park on Friday 26th of September. Inverness began the better of the two sides, but failed to capitalise on their first half momentum. It ended up costing them their place in the cup, as Paul McLellan put the home side in front on 52 minutes with a delightful lobbed finish and The Loons held on valiantly for the remainder of the match.

Falkirk FC v Airdrieonians FC
Falkirk required penalties to see off a dogged Airdrieonians side at the Falkirk Stadium. With both sides goalless at half-time, it took until the 74th minute for Falkirk to open the scoring thanks to a Liam Rowan penalty. However, with seconds to go a Robert Wilson header drew the away side level and took the game to extra-time. There was more joy for the visitors when Kyle Richford put them in front, but they were also to be denied at the death. Scott Shepherd equalised for Falkirk to take it to penalties, before Ryan Blair finished off the final penalty to seal the Bairns place in the 3rd round.

Edinburgh City FC v Whitehill Welfare FC
Edinburgh City suffered defeat at the hands of Whitehill Welfare at Meadowbank. Daniel McKinlay opened the scoring while Jack Jardine made it 2-0 with ten minutes to go before half-time. Edinburgh battled back in the second half and reduced the deficit thanks to Mark Osborne, but McKinlay’s second goal restored Whitehill’s two goal lead. With twenty minutes to go the game sprung to life as McKinlay was shown a straight red, but despite all their efforts, Edinburgh couldn’t find another goal and a late own goal was salt in the ‘cup-exit’ wounds as Whitehill progressed 4-1.

Cove Rangers FC v Brora Rangers FC
Brora Rangers were described as pre-match ‘red hot favourites’ by Cove Rangers secretary Ian Armstrong, but it didn’t stop his side upsetting the books. In one of the closest matches of the round, a stunning strike by Craig Mackie was enough for Cove to edge through to the next round with a 1-0 victory.

Dalbeattie Star FC v Selkirk FC
Selkirk FC progressed over Dalbeattie Star in a seven goal thriller. The away side took an early 2-0 lead thanks to Liam Henderson and James Harley, but Kieran McCrudden reduced the deficit for Dalbeattie with 22 minutes played. Selkirk restored their two goal cushion ten minutes later thanks Kerr Scott, but once again Dalbeattie fought back and captain Craig Neill headed home to make it 3-2 at half time.
The second half wasn’t without incident either and with 61 minutes played Dalbeattie’s Gary Lord was sent off for an off the ball incident. Selkirk made the advantage count and seven minutes from full time Adonis Kapela grabbed their fourth of the match. Still Dalbeattie weren’t done there and McCrudden bagged his brace with two minutes to play, but it wasn’t enough as Selkirk eventually prevailed.
