Newtonmore were 2–1 up at half time with Max Campbell scoring twice in-between Heath's equaliser.

But Heath levelled for Lovat again in the 63rd minute before scoring the winner in the 76th minute.

Campbell was sent off seven minutes from time as Newtonmore finished the game with 11 men.

Beauly were seconds away from pulling off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the competition, as Kingussie equalised in the 124th minute to level the match at 2–2 before winning the penalty shoot-out 5–4.

But National Division leaders Beauly, who play in the league below, levelled six minutes into the second half through Jack MacDonald with neither team able to find a winner in normal time.

Beauly left The Dell stunned in extra time when Ross Forbes looked like he scored the winner in 118 minutes.

But six minutes into injury time, Savio Genini scored the equaliser to deny Beauly victory before the hosts went on to win the shoot-out.

Strathglass were no match for Skye as they fell to a 5–1 defeat in Portree.
