Stranraer cruised past East Stirling at a wind-swept Strair Park thanks to a four goal blitz by David Graham.
Michael Moore opned the scoring after only 6 minutes when he slotted the ball past the outstretched Chris Todd.
David Graham was next to get his name on the score sheet, when in the 28th minute he hammered the ball past the luckless Todd in the East Stirling goal.
The vistors nearly pulled a goal back before the break when Sean McAuley's effort struck the cross-bar.
Five minutes after the restart Graham got his second goal when he blasted a Lee Sharp goalwards.
Sean McAuley finally score for East Stirling in the 67th minute when he headed home a deep cross.
However, their celebrations were short lived as Kevin Finlasyon scored with a powerful kick after another well-aimed Lee Sharp cross.
Four minutes later Alan Jenkins picked up the ball in midfield and fed it through to Michael Moore. Moore took a shot at goal, but Todd parried the shot and it fell at the feet of Graham. Graham made no mistake and earned his hat-trick.
In the last two minutes Stranraer scored two more goals. The first came in the 86th minute when Stephen Swift squared the ball to an open Kevin Finlasyon, who fired the ball through the keeper's legs.
Stranraer's final goal was scored in the final minute of the match. Again it was Graham who gathered the ball in the box and shot past the hapless Todd.
Man of the Match- David Graham, what a performace!
Overall Summary- Enjoyable football!
