CUP draws have been made for Moray welfare football’s two knockout tournaments.
Mike Simpson Memorial Trophy holders The Broons kick off their defence of the silverware at home to newcomers RAF Lossie.
Fellow new boys Lossie Youths have also been drawn in the preliminary round and make the trip to Division 1 rivals Elgin Albion.
There could also be a repeat of last year’s Tewnion Memorial Trophy final in the first round of this season’s tourney.
Bishopmill Villa won the cup in 2012 by defeating The Broons in the final, and if the Speyside side wins their preliminary round tie against Mosstodloch they will host the holders.
