Comeback kids Keith fought back from a goal down to sink Nairn County 2-1.

Nairn’s Max Ewan saw a penalty saved by Greg Simpson but the away side took the lead thanks to Adam Porritt.

The Maroons then turned the game around through Bradley Manson and Cammy Keith.

Victorious boss Dean Donaldson said: “I’m pleased with the reaction we got after half-time.

“We were the better team early in the first half but did not take the chances.

“We had a chat at halftime and got a couple of goals to turn it around.

“That is the third time this season we have come back from a goal down to win so I am delighted.”

County gaf fer Ronnie Sharp said: “It is the same story every week – we are struggling in the last third.

“We cannot seem to score. We had chance after chance but there was no end product in the final third.”
