Utilita Highland League Cup Final
Rothes 2-1 Buckie Thistle
Rothes: Allen MacKenzie, Paul Macleod
Craig Cormack sent off
Buckie: Joe McCabe
An injury time goal from Paul Macleod gave ten-man Rothes victory over Buckie Thistle and saw them lift the Highland League Cup for the first time in their history.
Joe McCabe gave Buckie an early first half lead, only for Allen MacKenzie to level matters with a fine solo effort just before the half hour mark.
Rothes semi final hero Craig Cormack was sent off midway through the second period, and just as the game looked to be heading into extra time, Macleod headed home the 94th minute winner.
