The Jags travelled down to the Edinburgh area to take on Hearts B last night and twice came from behind to win 3-2.

The victory earned a second round tie at home to Brora, who edged out Aberdeen's youngsters 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Buckie took on the Jam Tarts' kids at Ferguson Park, where East of Scotland League side Whitehill Welfare play their home matches.

Hearts led at the break through a Connor Smith goal before Jack Murray nodded Jags level on 50 minutes.

Graeme Stewart's side fell behind for a second time to a Scott McGill goal but within five minutes they had completely turned the tie around.

Cohen Ramsay levelled on 73 minutes and Sam Pugh netted what proved to be the winner two minutes later.

Three Highland League teams have joined Elgin City in the second round on August 23/24.

Brechin City travelled to Newtongrange to take on Hibernian B and won through in a penalty shoot-out.

City broke the deadlock through Jordan Northcott 20 minutes from time, only for the young Hibees to level just six minutes from full time.

Hibs missed their first two penalties and Brechin netted all of their first four to earn a home tie against Stirling Albion.

Goals by Jordan MacRae and Andy Macrae landed Brora's win over the young Dons on Tuesday while Fraserburgh were the only Highland League side to go out in round one, losing 2-0 at home to St Johnstone B.
