BOTH contestants failed to land trebles on the Scottish Junior Cup last weekend.
McBookie's Paul Petrie still leads the way in the season-long challenge on £66.10 while William Hill's Owen is still to get off the mark.
Here's what the duo are on this weekend:
Owen writes: Well, what can I say about last week? Probably better not saying anything after one of the sides I tipped lost 6-1 at home. That is a new low even for me.
But it makes me even more determined to get a treble up this weekend but it doesn't look any easier. One of the sides I fancied last week in the Scottish Cup was Fauldhouse and they drew away to Armadale so this week I'm keeping faith with them at 10-11 to complete the job in the replay.
Largs surprised a few punters last week by beating Sauchie in the Junior Cup as they still sit bottom of the league without a point. They have a tough match this week away to close rivals Greenock but I reckon now is the time and Largs at 7-2 can repay their fans by getting their first maximum points of the season.
In the East Region I hope I'm not the kiss of death for this club as Edinburgh Utd are unbeaten in their last nine matches and play host to a Dalkeith side who exited the Scottish Junior Cup at home to Kilwinning last week. I'm on the Premier League leaders at 8-13 to keep that great run going.

Paul writes: First up I am going for Downfield to beat Thornton at 5-6. The Spiders are favourites to win the league and this could be a big game as to whether it will be a cakewalk or a battle as this should be one of their hardest fixtures.
Next I am on Dundonald at 4-6 to beat Oakley. The Bluebells have played more games than anyone else but that doesn’t mean they aren’t potential title contenders and this is a must-win game if they are going to back that up.
Finally, I am going for Musselburgh to beat Ballingry at 4-9. The away side are all over the place at the moment so this is a perfect time to be playing them. They were humiliated in the Scottish Cup last week and I'd be surprised if Musselburgh don’t pick up a win.
