Harry Hennem doubled Clachnacuddin's advantage just before the half hour mark when he connected with a cross from the left wing and fired a powerful volley past James More.
Troy Cooper made it three four minutes before half time when he was allowed to charge into the box and fired a low drive past the goalkeeper.
On the stroke of half time, Lewis Mackenzie managed to run around the goalkeeper before firing a low drive from a tight angle into the net to kill the game off.
The hosts got their fifth when Mackenzie beat the offside trap to run on to pass from Troy Cooper. Maintains his composure as fires a low drive past James More.
Two minutes later, Hennem hit Wick for six with his second of the afternoon when he was left unchallenged to fire home a cross from Mackenzie to make it 6-0.

The rout was completed in injury time when Cooper grabbed his second as he pounces shot from Robert Urquhart which crashed off the underside of the crossbar and fired home.
