Coldstream Museum will host the draw for the William Hill Scottish Cup preliminary rounds next week as this season’s competition gets under way.

The museum is currently running an exhibition called ‘Frontiers: The Berwickshire Football Story’ which covers the history of the game in the area.

It also mark the 125th anniversary of Coldstream FC, who will be involved in the preliminary round draws.

The first and second preliminary round draw will take place on Monday 18 July at 6.15pm and are open to the public.

You can also follow it live on the Scottish FA Twitter feed.

The draw party will be confirmed soon.

There will be three parts to the preliminary round draws:

The first part will determine which seven clubs from ten receive a bye to the second preliminary round. The clubs participating in this part of the draw are:

Banks O’Dee
Burntisland Shipyard Amateurs
Coldstream
Edusport Academy
Girvan
Glasgow University
Golspie Sutherland
Linlithgow Rose
Threave Rovers
Wigtown and Bladnoch

The three clubs which do not receive a bye into the second round will enter the first preliminary round draw alongside:

Auchinleck Talbot
Beith Juniors
Bonnyrigg Rose
Colville Park
Leith Athletic
Newton Stewart
St. Cuthbert Wanderers

Five ties will be drawn in the first preliminary round to be played on Saturday, 13 August 2016.

The final part of the draw will be for the second preliminary round and will feature the five ties drawn in the first preliminary round (and the corresponding clubs) and the seven clubs which received a bye to this round earlier.

Six ties will be drawn in the second preliminary round to be played on Saturday, 3 September 2016.

Auchinleck Talbot got a major boost before their LSY Testimonial against Kilmarnock when the Rugby Park side intimated that they will be putting out a full strength squad against the Talbot. Killie manager Lee Clark wants to blood a few of his new stars who have still to rack up game time and it’s believed that Talbot would be the perfect opposition.

Lee will be accompanied by a squad of 24 and a backroom staff that contains ex-Killie, Wigan and Rangers player Lee McCulloch. McCulloch will be no stranger to the Junior game after playing with Cumbernauld United before being picked up by Motherwell.

Killie manager Lee Clark who has the distinction of playing for both Newcastle and Sunderland has been busy in the transfer market since keeping Killie in the top flight after defeating Falkirk in the play-offs. He has brought a number of young stars from the English game to bolster his squad including striker Souleymane Coulibaly who comes to the club from Peterborough FC. His footballing career started when he moved to Italy and has included an international career with the Ivory Coast U17 team. Whilst playing for them he finished as the top goal scorer at the 2011 Under-17 World Cup.

The games will kick off at 2pm on Sunday the 24^th of this month and the Kilmarnock squad should be at Beechwood at 12.45 so if you want to see the Premier League stars then get down early. Talbot will be producing a souvenir programme for the match costing £2. Admission is £5 or £3 concession.

The website today secured Talbot TV’s Aaron Cyr who will be reconstructing the websites look and updating his videos. Aaron who has had website experience with Hurlford was only to happy to help and this has pleased webmaster Jim McAuley.
