Darge makes difference for Nairn St Ninian with win over Orkney in Highlands and Islands League

Nairn St Ninian’s women returned from their summer break and immediately got back to winning ways, with a 1–0 win in Orkney.

The trek north is difficult for most teams, and it took the Nairn Saints some time to get their rhythm – not helped by playing into a headwind in the first half.

In the second, though, St Ninian were able to be a little more proactive, and their perseverance finally paid off with a later winner.

Louise Horgan was instrumental in the goal, winning the ball back and charging forward before laying it off to Emily Darge who duly converted.

St Ninian have a free weekend this Sunday.
