Chin stars as clinical County ease past East Kilbride in Dingwall.
After a scrappy start to proceedings, the first chance came after 15 minutes. Randall spun his marker and hit the crossbar from a tight angle.
Fifteen minutes later, it was Randall who came close for County again. Graham found the midfielder inside the EK box, but his low effort was saved by the foot of Kelly.
With less than two minutes until the interval, Balde found Gray inside the area, who saw his shot come off the post.
Into stoppage time, County hit the front. Chin found Lindsay, who played the ball across goal to Graham, who found the roof of the net to give the hosts a deserved lead.

Into the second period, County doubled their lead. Emslie played the ball through to McCarvel, who slotted the ball into the bottom corner.
Not long later, two became three. Chin did brilliantly to win the ball high up the pitch, before playing the ball down the line to McCarvel, who played a dangerous ball across the face of goal, which was eventually bundled in by Lindsay.
With just under twenty minutes remaining, County made it four. Strapp played the ball into the County box, and it was the skipper Graham, in the right place, at the right time, to head home.
East Kilbride came close to pulling a goal back when Balde found himself with the ball at the back post, but his deflected effort was cleared off the line.
After two minutes of additional time, the referee drew the game to a close. A stellar showing form the Staggies as they maintain their perfect start to the campaign. On the other hand, East Kilbride will have to improve, as they face high-flying Hamilton in their next match.
