ROTHES 0 NAIRN COUNTY 2

NAIRN thoroughly deserved this victory which sees them move up to finish above Huntly in 13th, a creditable position that will be all the sweeter to the club that lost a posse of players to the Strathbogie side during pre-season.

Having been the better team in a goalless first half, the Wee County got their noses in front after the break.

A ball in from the wide area cleared the first defender and found Dylan Mackenzie who controlled it perfectly before swivelling to drill a low shot into the bottom corner of the net from eight yards out.

Nairn had the points in the bag when a free-kick was deflected high into the air and Gary Kerr showed the desire to get his name on the scoresheet, powering an eight-yard header back across goal and into the net.
