Peterhead 4-1 Brechin City

Rory McAllister's hat-trick helped promotion-chasing Peterhead to a thumping 4-1 victory over Brechin City.

McAllister converted Shane Sutherland's cross on 25 minutes and added his second on the stroke of half-time with a thunderous strike.

Liam Watt pulled one back just after the hour mark, turning in Paul McLean's cross, but McAllister and Sutherland struck in the final quarter.

Bottom side Brechin are seven points adrift of ninth-placed Forfar Athletic.
