Fairlie inside centre Bruce Hunter was one of the leading lights as Accies comprehensively saw off Caithness 114-0. 


In recording the highest score in their league history, albeit against weak opposition, Accies also were without the services of several key players who were out through injury and unavailability. 
In bone-chilling conditions, Robert Hunter kicked off the match for Accies who were playing towards the Saltcoats end of the pitch .With three minutes on the clock, Accies scored their first of their 18 tries of the afternoon after the home pack drove the opposition scrum over the line for Stewart Lamont to touch down, the conversion was missed. 
Four minutes later Accies score again, after an attempted Caithness clearing kick was charged down by Ruairihd Anderson who followed up for the score under the posts, Robert Hunter kicked the first of his 11 conversions of the afternoon. Straight from the restart kick another try was added after the ball was transferred through the hands for Harry Macdonald to sprint in for the touchdown in the corner, the conversion was missed. 
On the 20th minute, Bruce Hunter drifted through the visitors defence to score the Accies 4th and bonus point score. The conversion was missed. 
Try number 5 came on the 25th minute after Scott Campbell finished off a fine move, the conversion was good. Accies 6th try was scored from the kick-off after Robert Hunter's chip over the defence was gathered for Neil Monagahan to score under the posts, the conversion was good. 
Ruairidh Anderson scored the seventh try which was replica of his first after he latched on to an attempted clearance kick and touched down, the conversion was good. 
It was Gordon Telfer's turn to score next after he finished off a move which he had instigated to score in the corner, the conversion was missed.

Accies now moved to second place in the league and they will know that far sterner tests wait in the league programme but in scoring 114 points some of their play was from the top drawer despite arduous conditions.
