TEENAGE striker Greg Matheson was a four-goal hero for Lovat as the Kiltarlity side produced the result of the day in the Orion Premiership, thrashing Fort William 6-0 at An Aird.
It was Fort William's heaviest defeat of the season and relegation alarm bells will be ringing after a lacklustre performance in front of their own supporters.
Matheson struck for the first time in the 31st minute but there was little hint of a Fort collapse to come. However, his second goal, in the 49th minute, signalled the start of a disastrous spell for the home side. Matheson completed his hat-trick two minutes later and Kevin Bartlett and Lorne MacKay added further goals in quick succession. Matheson had the final say when he knocked in his fourth 15 minutes from time.
Newtonmore ended Inveraray's unbeaten run, winning 4-1 at the Winterton. Goals from Michael Russell, Calum Binnie, Danny MacRae and Chris Sellar took the defending champions back to the top of the table.
Kyles Athletic's challenge faded as they lost 3-2 at Kingussie. The Badenoch side trailed to a Roberto Zavaroni double but Fraser Munro scored a minute before the interval and two Rory Borthwick goals in two minutes after the restart turned the match on its head.
Glenurquhart edged to their second win of the season, a hard-fought 2-0 success over Oban Camanachd. Goals from Neale Reid and David Smart sealed the points and left Oban in serious relegation trouble.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
