Strathglas­s 9 Oban Celtic 0 Strathglas­s left Oban Celtic still looking for their first points of the season with a comfortabl­e 9-0 win their 3pm throw-up at Cannich.

Strathglas­s played well in the game although Oban Celtic travelled light with their absentees including Lewis Mcphee, Michael MacKinnon, Duncan MacDonald, Jamie Forgrieve, Scott Dempster, and George MacMillan, and Lennon Campbell only able to take a place on the bench where he was an unused substitute.

In an ominous sign of things to come, Strathglas­s had the ball in the net within seconds of throw-up but the effort was ruled out for offside.

The home side took early control of the game though with Penri Jones scoring on three minutes and 13 minutes, either side of Steven Hyslop's tenth minute strike.

Penri Jones was striking the ball well and completed his hat-trick on 32 minutes with

Michael Stokes opening his account three minutes later to make it 5-0 at the break.

Michael Stokes and Steven Hyslop both got their second goals on 52 minutes and 58 minutes respective­ly to make it 7-0. When a strike from distance deflected off Dylan Cooke's club into the Oban Celtic net on 65 minutes, it pretty much summed up Oban Celtic's day.

Michael Stokes rounded off the scoring, completing his hat-trick on 82 minutes to make the final score 9-0.

Oban Celtic's Les Kinvig said: 'It was a poor, poor performanc­e. We were just so disjointed. You don't get away with it in the National Division if you don't perform.

‘We were missing seven players. The only positives to take were the game time from the bench given to 15-year-old Duncan MacEwan and young Joe MacVicar and the fact Neil Carmichael got 90 minutes under his belt.'
