After a goalless first half at Harlaw Park, Andy Hunter scored twice against his former club Locos in the space of five minutes to put Huntly in command.

Glen Donald pulled one back on 74 minutes before Brodie Allen netted his third of the season to restore the two-goal gap on 87 minutes.

Callum Duncan scored a stoppage time consolation for Inverurie, who remain pointless in the league.

Turriff United defeated Clachnacuddin 4-1 in a tempestuous encounter at The Haughs.

Jay Goldie's first goal for Vale reduced the deficit on 81 minutes but Sean Butcher netted his seventh of the season from the spot two minutes later to make it 3-1.

Another first goal for the club for Vale's Matty Petermann made Fraserburgh sweat it out for the three points.
