Kilsyth’s 4-1 victory at Dunipace - thanks to doubles by Frannie Kelly and Paul McBride - put them top of the group, ahead of Kirkintilloch Rob Roy on goals scored.

But Kilsyth have now finished their matches, leaving Rob Roy - with three wins out of three - still in pole position going into their final match against Rossvale at Guy’s Meadow on Saturday.

A point will still be enough to put Stewart Maxwell’s side through to the knockout stages as group winners.

But if they lose they will be out - and here‘s where it gets complicated.

Rossvale’s win at Cumbernauld out them on six points from three games and a win over Rob Roy by three goals or more leave the Bishopbriggs side top of the group.

But if Rossvale win by less than three goals then both sides would be eliminated and Kilsyth would top the group and go through to the last eight.

At the other end of the table Cumbernauld United and Dunipace - both yet to win a point - face each other at Denny looking to avoid finishing bottom.
