Staxigoe dish out six of the best to Swifts
Staxigoe United continued their recent good form as they hit Division One strugglers Thurso Swifts for six.
Goals from Martin Banks (2), Grant Aitkenhead, Grant MacNab, Colin Davidson and Marc Coghill wrapped up a comfortable 6-1 victory against the bottom side who bagged a consolation strike via Craig Sutherland.
The win moves Staxigoe up to fifth in the table, a point behind Thurso Acks and John O'Groats respectively. Swifts continue to prop up the league on minus three points.
John O'Groats also hit the goal trail as they thumped Lybster 5-2.

In Division Two, High Ormlie Hotspur's good run of results came to an abrupt end as Halkirk dented their automatic promotion chances with a 2-1 win at Ormlie Park.
Steven Campbell and Davy Byrne netted for the visitors, with Spurs – who are now seven points behind leaders Wick Thistle, having played a game more – replying through Euan Munro.
Watten and Keiss drew 1-1 at Watten Park. Shane Honeyman was on target for the home side with Keiss netting via Adam Sherry.
There were goals galore at the Dammies as Thurso Pentland claimed local derby bragging rights over Top Joes with a 5-3 victory.
