Victory was clinched midway through the second half by on-loan Caley Thistle youngster Chris Blackett, who netted his first goal for the club.

Top faced bottom when Cove Rangers took on Rothes at Harlaw Park i Inverurie, and as expected it was the league leaders who romped to victory.

A 6-0 win for the Aberdonians made it 15 league wins out of 15, leaving Rothes with just a single points form their 17 outings.

Boosted by their first point of the season gained in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Buckie, the Speysiders battled hard to match their opponents to no avail.

Blair Yule, Daryl Nicol and Jamie Watt all scored inside the first quarter to give Cove a commanding lead.

Rothes stemmed the flow until the hour mark when Watt added a fourth.

It looked like the scoring might finish there but sub Jon Smith grabbed number 5 a minute from tim e before Stuart Walker made it 6-0 in stoppage time.

Champions Brora beat Wick 3-1, Nairn thrashed Strathspey Thistle 7-0 and Inverurie claimed a 1-0 success at Fraserburgh.
