Five goal chuckie makes child's play of Rothes
Scottish Highland Football League
Rothes 0 Wick Academy 7
Scorers: Weir (1,6,17,30,78) Geruzel (3) Macadie (44)
It might've been like Nightmare on MacKessack Park for Rothes, but it was Child's Play for Wick Academy as Gary 'Chuckie' Weir scored five in a seven goal demolition in Speyside.
Rothes have the worst defensive record in the SHFL and it took Wick Academy only 23 seconds to find out why when Weir netted the opener.
Lukasz Geruzel doubled the visitors lead in the third minute before Weir made it 3-0 after just six minutes.
Gary Weir sealed his hat-trick after just 17 minutes, but it was four minutes short of beating the club's quickest hat-trick record. Davie Allan scored a hat-trick in just 13 minutes against Formartine United in 2013 in a 3-3 draw at North Lodge Park.
Weir got his fourth on the half hour and Richard Macadie also found the net a minute before half time as Rothes were hit for six.
Academy only found the net once in the second half as Weir scored his fifth 12 minutes from time to send Wick into seventh heaven.
The Scorries featured Dingwall trialist Steven MacLean who was taken off injured early in the second half. Under 17 striker Connor Cormack came off the bench to make his senior debut.
Wick Academy will be hoping for another ruthless performance against Strathspey Thistle on Wednesday night with kick off at 8pm.
