FRASERBURGH beat FORMARTINE UNITED 2-1. Paul Campbell (pen) and Scott Barbour netted for the hosts, while Archie Macphee earlier levelled for the visitors.

BRORA RANGERS eased to a 5-1 home win over STRATHSPEY, all their goals coming in the first half. Neil Macdonald, Mark Nicholson, Scott Davidson (2) and Zander Sutherland completed their nap hand. Scott Lisle scored for Strathspey.

Goals by Sam Robertson, youngster Callum Milne, Craig Cowie and Hamish Munro were the marksmen for BUCKIE THISTLE in their 4-1 home victory over FORRES MECHANICS. Stuart Soane hit Forres’ only counter, and a bad day for the Can Cans was rounded off when sub Allan Macphee’s comments were not welcomed by referee Fillipo Mazzoni, who sent him off.

LOSSIEMOUTH opened up a 14-point gap at the bottom with a 5-0 win over FORT WILLIAM, who look destined to finish the season with a negative points tally. It took just 15 minutes for the Coasters to score, albeit with a hint of luck. When an initial free-kick was turned goalwards, the attempted goalline clearance bounced back off Brodie Allen and into the goal. The visitors dug in and kept the deficit to one until halfway through the second period when Ryan Stuart cut in from the left and lifted the ball over Mateusz Kulbacki to break the Fort’s resistance. Ross Archibald, Dean Mccall and Connor Macauley got the other counters.

NAIRN COUNTY went down 3-0 at home to INVERURIE LOCO WORKS. The visitors broke the deadlock on 50 minutes when Chris Angus showed quick feet to control the ball before blasting past Maclean. A penalty was awarded in 68 minutes after Fraser Dingwall charged into Angus, Gauld stepped up to blast the penalty low beyond Maclean. No. 3 came in added time when sub Kyle Gordon lashed home from 12 yards.
