2019-20 Highland League Cup Semi Finals
Saturday 17th October
Formartine Utd v Rothes
Formartine return to action with a cup clash at North Lodge Park against a Rothes team who they also faced on their last outing over seven months ago. Jonny Smith could make his debut for the home side after signing from Inverurie Locos in the summer.
Rothes are without Steven Anderson and Robert Donaldson who are both furloughed and unable to travel, while Gregg Main is suspended. Paul Macleod is self isolating, while Aidan Wilson and Ryan McRitchie are both out injured. Into the squad come new recruits Jack Brown, Ross Gunn and Sean McCarthy, and they're joined by the returning Jack Maley, who has signed a short term deal after initially leaving the club in the summer.

Brora Rangers v Buckie Thistle
League champions Brora host Buckie on Sunday as they look to reach their first Highland League Cup final since they won it in 2016. The Cattachs came from two down to earn a point against League One Cove Rangers in midweek and will aim to continue that form against the Jags.
Buckie boss Graeme Stewart has a full squad to choose from for the trip north, with the visitors aiming to get to their first final since losing to Clach on penalties in 2014.
