Cruise for Montrose

Montrose eased past North junior champions Banks O'Dee 3-0 to book their place in round three of the Active Nation Scottish Cup.

The visitors threatened first when Darryl Nicol's ball in from the left evaded everyone with Aaron Sinclair sliding in and just failing to make contact.

Montrose then had the woodwork to thank for keeping them level on the half hour when Martin Christie ratted the crossbar.

The Gable Endies broke the deadlock after 57 minutes when Paul Watson's shot deflected past home goalkeeper Grant Pennant.

It was two after 78 minutes when Watson turned provider as his cutback found Aaron Sinclair, who fired high into the roof of the net.

Watson was involved again in the third as he headed the ball on for Alan Campbell to nod home in injury time.
