As history has shown, good or bad league form does not necessarily correlate to what happens in the knockout format of the Cup. Nonetheless, as each of the local clubs continue the lead up to their Round of 32 encounters, we take a look at how each of them are faring at league level.

For Bayswater, the loss of skipper Trent Kay meant Steve Burton took over the captains arm band and it was his goal after only 56 seconds that separated the sides, but the result was hard on Stirling, who dominated the second half without converting their opportunities. Bayswater were indebted to Jamie Coyne for clearing off the line in stoppage time to deny the Lions a share of the spoils.
