The Jags starting line-up showed three changes from last week's Aberdeenshire Cup final win, in came David Angus, Mike Mcdonald and David Macrae for Kevin Small, Bob Duncan and Donnie Munro.

The Jags went ahead in 7 minutes when ZANDER SUTHERLAND shot from the edge of the box and the ball flew high into the net past the keeper.

It was 2-0 after 15 minutes when a corner reached PAUL NAPIER and he curled his shot into the top corner, the two goal scorers then combined as Sutherland cut the ball back from the bye-line for PAUL NAPIER to slam the ball into the net from the six yard box.

Buckie increased their lead in 32 minutes when STEPHEN BRUCE continued where he had left off last week by driving the ball into the net for goal number four and it was 5-0 two minutes before half-time when CRAIG MACMILLAN headed in a corner.

                              Half-time 5-0  

The Jags brought Jamie Shewan on for Kris Angus at the start of the second half and Ian Murray for Stephen Bruce on 55 minutes.

Murray made an immediate impression - having a shot blocked and ZANDER SUTHERLAND blasted the ball into the net for his second of the day in 60 minutes, Murray then had another shot blocked and CRAIG MACMILLAN followed up to score in 72 minutes.

CRAIG MACMILLAN then completed his hat-trick in 80 minutes - placing his shot low into the net for his eleventh goal of the season.

Ian Murray continued to work hard and struck the bar, he was then was through on goal only to be tugged back by the last defender and then upended by the onrushing goalkeeper.

Following this incident the defender was booked and the keeper sent off, Mackinnon scored from the free-kick  only for the Ref to award a retake for an infringement by a Fort defender, Sutherland then drove the retake wide.

                             Final-score 8-0
