Brora Rangers claimed a historic treble as they won the Highland League Cup final beating Fraserburgh in Inverness.
Max Ewan was the hat-trick hero as he scored three times to send the Cattachs on their way to victory at Grant Street Park.
It is the first time that Brora Rangers have won all three trophies in one season, previously winning the North of Scotland Cup in October and Highland League last week.
Brora took the lead in the 21st minute when Ewan beat the offside trap to run on to a throughball from Tony Dingwall. He kept his composure to fire a low drive past Joe Barbour to give the Sutherland outfit the lead.
Ewan then doubled Brora’s advantage five minutes later when after collecting a ball from the right wing, he drove into the box before delicately lobbing the ball over Barbour and it dropped into the net.
The game was put beyond doubt when Brora were awarded a penalty in the 56th minute when Tony Dingwall was fouled in the box. Ewan fired a low drive past Barbour into the bottom left corner to give them a three-goal advantage.
Shane Sutherland almost added a fourth with 15 minutes remaining to connect with a cross from Dingwall on the right wing, but his shot was parried over the bar by Barbour.
Jamie Beagrie grabbed a consolation goal for Fraserburgh late on, but Brora had already done enough to claim the trophy.
