The 17's returned to winning ways and maintained their unbeaten start to the season after a long journey away to Elgin with a 5-0 victory.  

Despite the long journey and difficult conditions they started well as within two minutes a Declan Campbell effort beat the keeper only to be cleared off the line by an alert Elgin defender.

The Ayr players kept the pressure on and only three minutes later Steven Hutchinson delivered a corner which Elgin couldn't clear but Milligan controlled well to side step the defender and scored with his left foot to give the Ayr side the lead.

On 10 minutes, Hutchinson curled in a great corner that needed to be cleared off the line but only a few minutes later Milligan done well to dispossess an Elgin defender and slid a great ball to Scott Aitken who finished well to make it 2-0.

In the 18th minute Hutchinson, who was outstanding, played in a great ball to Aitken, whose pace beat the defence before squaring the ball to Milligan who fired in for his second of the day to make it 3-0 at half time.

In the 52nd minute Dale McCormack's persistence to win a lost cause ball down the left proved worthwhile as he played a perfectly weighted pass into Milligan who scored his third of the day.

Five minutes later a good one-two between Milligan and Cammy Marlow resulted in midfielder Marlow bulleting a great 20 yard shot high into the net to make it 5 nil.

Chances were coming thick and fast for the visiting side and on 65 minutes Hutchinson had another great 40 yard run down the right playing Tommy March out on the right who in turn crossed in for Hutchinson who had continued his run to header just wide of the target and miss out on the goal his performance deserved.

The scoring however was completed in 72 minutes when another Hutchinson corner was headed by March but his effort was saved by the keeper only for skipper JJ Hawkshaw to follow up for his goal for a 6 nil scoreline. JJ followed up his goal with an energetic celebration that is undoubtedly a candidate for the celebration of the season!!
   
Stuart Galloway, goalkeeping coach, said afterwards "A lot of credit has to be given to the boys for their application and attitude after such a long journey, we also had about 4 cleared off the line hit the woodwork on some 3 occasions and their keeper had two or three decent stops."
