Forres recorded a whopping 6-1 victory over Strathspey Thistle.

Keith were Moray derby winners, beating Rothes 1-0 away from home thanks to a goal from Nathan McKeown shortly after half-time.

Defending champions Buckie Thistle - who have a game in hand - also recorded their first victory of the season by beating Huntly at Christie Park.

Jack MacIver's penalty five minutes after half-time was enough to give the Jags a 1-0 victory.
