BUCKIE Ladies ran riot with an 11-goal haul as their unbeaten league form continued in style on Sunday.
The champions unleashed a tsunami of attacking football which totally overwhelmed hosts Nairn, with the game wrapped up at half-time at 7-0. Buckie added a further four after the break, with plucky Nairn claiming a consolation.
It was a game to remember for the visitors' Lori Lappin, who struck five times. Emily McAuslan celebrated a hat-trick, with goals also coming from Maisie Scrannage, Abbie Marshall and Michaela Munro.
Buckie Ladies manager Laura Duncan said: "Nairn just couldn't handle the speed of our attackers.
"It was hot but it's a testament to the fitness of the squad that they were able to keep up the pace for whole game.
"I had six subs available so I used them all to give some of the players who'd normally play the full 90 a bit of a rest.
"It was a great team performance all round."
Buckie will face Nairn again this Sunday at Portgordon, this time in the Highlands and Islands League Cup, a title the hosts are defending.
Duncan added: "I might have a couple of players missing due to work commitments for the Nairn game although we're obviously going into the game full of confidence.
"However, we'll be taking nothing for granted."
Kick off is scheduled for 2pm – follow Buckie Ladies' Facebook page for match details and updates.
