So, no real big ties in the first round. Meadow travel to Recreation Park to take on Darvel. The only game between the clubs last season ended in a 5-2 win for Meadow in the Ardagh Cup.

Other games that stick out include the battle of the Thistles, between North Ayrshire rivals Ardeer and Dalry while the only other Ayrshire derby is between Irvine Vics and Muirkirk. There is also an Inverclyde derby between Port Glasgow and Greenock while local rivals Johnstone Burgh and Arthurlie also go head to head. Holders Beith have a home tie against Thorniewood Utd while Meadow's conquerers last season Rob Roy are at home to Vale Of Leven.
