The two clubs met at first team level in the Highland League on Saturday with Buckie comfortably winning 4-0.

Some of Turriff's young first team squad were involved in their under-21 team that lined up against Jags at The Haughs on Monday night, and the outcome was very different.

After a goalless 20 minutes, Turriff hit five goals before half time with Fergus Alberts, Murray Cormack and a four-minute Kyle Gordon hat-trick doing the damage.

Finlay Murray and a trialist took the score to 7-0 before Alberts added his own second.

Sub Stevie Livingstone made it nine, Buckie pulled one back from the penalty spot and Kyle Buxton added two more goals for Turriff late on to complete an 11-1 victory.

A strong Fraserburgh side overpowered Huntly at Bellslea Park.

Broch won 5-0 with all five scorers having good first team experience for the Buchan side.

Josh Bolton and Logan Watt scored in the first half, Zane Laird added two in the second half and Watt completed the scoring late on.

Strikes by Blair Smith (2), Taylor Mason and Anton Chauvin were enough to give Inverurie Locos a 4-1 victory over Deveronvale.
