St Mirren are among the sides to book a place in the Scottish Power National League Cup quarter-final draw this week after beating Championship side Forfar Farmington in Angus.
Friends went ahead with a Sandra Craig header, then she turned provider for Casey Canning to double their lead. But Forfar fought back, with Alex Fox pulling one back before the break and emerging from the traps early in the second half. But Emma Russell was alive in the Saints goal before Canning struck from a Tarif Adebo assist for a brace to restore their two-goal cushion and put her side through.
Frankie Fern’s hat-trick helped Barclays League One leaders Bishopton book their place in the next round with a comfortable 5-1 win at Giffnock Soccer Center and Stenhousemuir, East Fife by the same scoreline, while 2025 winners Stirling University narrowly edged out Queen of the South 2-1 away to Dumfries.
League One Edinburgh South gave Elgin City a scare, going two up inside ten minutes, but the Moray side equalized at the break before Mia Lundberg hit a second-half hat-trick to seal a 7-2 win.
Elsewhere, Morton scored three goals in extra time after ninety minutes without a goal against Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Former Buckie goalkeeper Sophia Golebowski frustrated the visitors on her debut for Caley Thistle, but quick-fire goals from substitute Eilidh Drain, Kara Chalmers and Brooke Taylor ensured Morton’s recent run of good form continued.
Bonnyrigg Rose went three times ahead against visitors Dryburgh Athletic in a stunning thriller between last season’s finalists, but the Dundee side equalized three times, Hannah Dishington sending the tie into extra-time three minutes from time.
Megan Robb was deep into the second half of added time before scoring a fourth for Dryburgh, only for Bonnyrigg to immediately equalize through McGurk before Layla Dailly scored a fifth to send the hosts through.
In the second round of the regional SWFL divisions, Musselburgh Windsor beat SWFL East title rivals Edinburgh Uni Thistle 6-0 and Dalkeith Thistle beat Bayside 6-2 to make it two wins.

Harmony Row lead SWFL South on goal difference after beating Dalbeattie Star 9-1.
