Junior side Irvine Meadow stunned Arbroath to book their place in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

The Ayrshire outfit dominated the first half and scored on 36 minutes when Richie Barr slotted home from Ryan McGinty's cut-back.

Arbroath's extra fitness had an effect as the game wore on but the Second Division side created very little.

And, on the balance of their fine first half play, Meadow hung on to celebrate a famous victory.
