And, four minutes later, Tom Casey added a third for the visitors.

Luncarty let a two-goal lead slip at Vale of Leven. Dale Smart and Keiran Donald appeared to have the Bleachers in easy street at the break but the roof fell in after the interval with the hosts netting three times to go through. Kinnoull lost 4-0 away to Glasgow Perthshire. A Darren Neave goal was all Blairgowrie could muster as they went down 3-1 to hosts Hermes.
