A Callum Murray winner saw the winger secure a 2-1 victory over his former side and give Huntly their first home win over Forres Mechanics since February 2012.
The result sees Huntly move up to eighth and despite the result, Huntly Manager Allan Hale admitted it wasn’t their best performance.
Forres’ current win-less streak extended to eight games as Manager Steven Macdonald the goals conceded were costly.
