CSK make it unlucky thirteen for Caledonian
Chieftain pick up first points of the campaign with a 6-1 win against Portland

CSK HIGHFIELD broke their duck in Division 2 of the Press and Journal Inverness and District League with a thumping 13-0 victory against Caledonian.
CSK only took the lead with the last kick of the first half when Andrew McGhie scored.
Caledonian had the elements in their favour in the first period but they were swept away after the break when CSK rattled in 12 goals.
McGhie went on to score a second half hat-trick and Martyn Hurry and Dickie MacKenzie also hit trebles. Naza, Stewart MacLean and Michael Birney were the other CSK scorers.
Chieftain also picked up their first points of the campaign with a 6-1 win against Portland CI.
Dave Lundie opened the scoring in the 20th minute when he fired a 30-yard free kick into the net off the underside of the crossbar.
Ross Kernaghan doubled the lead four minutes later with a looping header after Lundie set him up.
Paul MacPhee found the top corner with a free kick midway through the second half and a Chris Andrews own goal made it 5-0.
Jamie Caine completed the scoring in the final minute when he headed home a Tony Miller cross. Auldearn still lead the way on maximum points after a 4-2 win against Deenos.
It was revenge for Auldearn who were thumped 6-2 by the same opposition last week in the cup.
But the leaders had to come from behind after Gary Taylor put through his own goal in the 35th minute. Robbie Thomson levelled from the penalty spot a couple of minutes later. A Kyle Scott double, either side of an Alan Ross goal, put Auldearn out of sight before Deenos hit a late consolation.
In the Highland Welfare Cup, Merkinch defeated Hill Rovers 5-4 on penalties after the tie finished 2-2.
