A 5&4 win by Gary Steele (Brunston Castle) at home to Robert Gilchrist (The Chase) secured a home tie in the third round against the winner of the tie between the champions of Caprington and Tam O Shanter.

Also through to round three is Fraser McCall (Troon Portland), courtesy of a 3&2 win at home against Ross McGinn (Skelmorlie). McCall will now travel to either Braehead or Largs in the next round.
