Inverurie Locos reached the ScottishPower National League Cup semi-finals when scoring with the last kick of the game against Dryburgh Athletic.

It was a physical game with limited chances for either side, officials from both sides rushing to aid Locos’ striker Vikki Riddell after she sustained an injury. Dryburgh Athletic goalkeeper Lilah Farquharson made a superb diving save to prevent an own goal and extra time always looked likely. It would be Locos who would dig out the victory, Charlie Elliott latching onto a corner to score the winner in the 120th minute.

Renfrew joined Locos in the semis in similar fashion, a winner late into the second half of extra time from Nicole Wilkie being the difference between them and Championship leaders East Fife.

The quarter final between the teams second and third in the Championship table promised to be a close affair, but in fact hosts Stirling University proved too quick and decisive for Inverness Caledonian Thistle on the day, running out 9-0 winners.

The all-League One tie between Kilwinning and Bonnyrigg Rose was a far tighter game. Kilwinning scored early to give home advantage for an hour of play, before Bonnyrigg skipper Dani Manson floated a corner directly into the net to set up a nail-biting final 30 minutes. Extra time was looming when Bonnyrigg’s Kazya Stevens scored from distance to put her side into the draw for the semi-finals.

A number of Regional SWFL games fell foul of the weather, but Cambusdoon returned to the top of SWFL South with a 10-1 win over Annan Athletic. Grampian won the only game which survived the weather in SWFL North, beating Buchan 5-0 to go top. Bishopton strengthened their lead in SWFL West with a 5-0 win over Drumchapel United while Glenrothes Strollers did the same in SWFL East with a 4-1 win against Penicuik Athletic. New sides Danderhall Miners and St Anthony’s chalked up important wins against McDermid Ladies and Harmony Row respectively, while Dunfermline Athletic took advantage of Alloa dropping points against Linlithgow to go top of SWFL Central.
