Can-Cans back on top after Strathspey romp
Forres Mechanics reclaimed top spot in the Highland
League after easing to a 7-1 victory over Strathspey Thistle at Seafield Park
on Wednesday night.
Steven Ross hit a hat-trick for the Can-Cans, whose
other goals came from Matty Davidson, Fraser Bremner, Willie Barron and Gordon
MacNab. Gavin Smith pulled one back for the Grantown Jags.
The result means Forres now have a one-point lead over
second-placed Cove Rangers and still have a game in hand.
Deveronvale mounted a second-half comeback to beat
Huntly 3-1 at Princess Royal Park. The visitors led at the break through
Russell Guild, but a Chris Blackhall double either side of a strike from Mike
McKenzie sealed the points for Vale.
Andrew Anderson scored twice in Keith's 4-0 victory at
Rothes, with Bruce Raffel and Cammy Keith also on the mark.
The wins for Deveronvale and Keith mean they are now
fifth and seventh respectively, with Wick Academy dropping to eighth place.
Clach's home fixture against Nairn County was
postponed.
