After a first half which saw the visitors take the lead with a 42nd minute penalty, Hermes turned on the style in second half, and goals from JAMES MCMAHON (55), pictured, CALUM YOUNGSON (75 pen) and BRUNON PASZKIEWICZ (78), saw them ease to a comfortable win.

Ellon were a stuffy , well organised side and they will certainly win more games than they if today's showing is anything to go by.

Man of the Match: DOMINIC RAE

Next up for Hermes is a visit to Stonehaven for a tricky McLeman Cup tie. Kick off 2pm.
