Captain scores four as Maroons end their winless streak

well worked, right off the training ground. Jamie McAllister’s goal was a candidate for goal of the season. Cammy led the line and took his goals well. The two Ross County guys on loan, Jack Grant and Gregor MacDonald, have done really well and are a credit to their club.

“There wasn’t a bad player amongst them today, a good team performanc­e after some difficult games against the top teams.”

Cammy Keith opened the scoring in the third minute from the penalty spot after Craig Macaskill had been upended and found the back of the net again from inside the box after 28 minutes.

A superb overhead kick from the edge of the box from McAllister put the home side well on the way to a record win against the Jags, and five minutes from half-time Macaskill gave Michael MacCallum no chance to make it 4-0.

The goals apart in the first half, several other chances were created without landing in the net.

Cammy Keith slotted home his hat-trick two minutes after the break, and four minutes later a superb left-wing rocket into the far top corner gave MacDonald his first goal in his impressive loan spell. Cammy Keith wound up the scoring just after the hour mark, a Scott Gray shot being blocked and the centre forward pouncing to rifle home his 10th goal of the season and his fifth quartet of goals for the club.

The humbled visitors got a small of crumb of comfort four minutes from the end when substitute Liam Taylor capitalise­d on a rare moment of slackness to race through and slot past Greg Simpson.

Strathspey manager Gordy Nicolson said: “It was a poor performanc­e from start to finish, and not the standards we try to set here.

“Keith took their chances and the early goal hit us. We didn’t get a response after the second goal and it gave us a mountain to climb.”

“Ourgoalswe­re all well worked, right off the training ground”
