The Coasters were keen to shake off the disappointment of Saturday’s North Cup final defeat to Brora Rangers and held Jags to a goalless first half.

It was Taylor who set up the goal with a cross for John McLeod to send a header high past keeper Stewart Black.
Shaun Carrol made it 2-0 from the penalty spot and Stevie Ross scored an easy third on 75 minutes to seal the points for Buckie.
Keith’s bid to secure a second consecutive league win was foiled by a late Wick Academy equaliser.
The Maroons dominated the first half at Kynoch Park and were rewarded by a goal from on-loan Caley Thistle youngster Mitch Foy on 36 minutes.
The Caithness side came more into it after the break and ex-Forres Mechanics man Gordon McNab equalised with 14 minutes to go.
Huntly won 5-2 at Nairn County and Clach were 2-1 winners over bottom side Fort William.
