WINNING ways returned to Merson Park on Saturday when Buckie Rovers put Spey Valley Utd to the sword.
The hosts exploded into this year’s Elginshire Cup with a 5-0 thrashing of their Section 1 qualifying pool opponents.
Lucas Davidson grabbed a brace, while Mike Campbell underlined his importance to the team with a goal on his return from suspension.
Ryan Matheson and Brodie Christie rounded off the scoring for Rovers.
The scoreline left Buckie co-manager Kyle Mackay a happy man.
“It was just what we were looking for, the boys went out there and did the business,” he said.
“In the first half we created a lot of chances but didn’t take them, so we were a bit disappointed to go in at half time only 1-0 up especially as we’d had the wind at our backs.
“We had a word at half-time and it all came together, they were all good goals we scored.
“Mike [Campbell] showed why he’s so important to the team, he does make a difference to us when he plays.”
It will be back to the job of league survival for Rovers when they head for Fraserburgh this Saturday, kick-off 1.30pm.
Mackay added: “It’s always a tough game going to the Broch, but we are capable of taking three points.
“We need to start getting some more points on the board.”
