NAIRN County maintained their 100 per cent record in the Highland League as they came from behind to win at Rothes.

Ronnie Sharp's men have won their three opening matches as they lie in sixth place.

But they have a game in hand on the top five teams with Brora Rangers and Fraserburgh on 12 points the only other teams to have won all their matches.

But Nairn fell behind midway through the first half when Aidan Wilson connected with a free kick in the box to give the Speysiders the lead from close range.

However Adam Porritt levelled the scores in the 39th minute from the penalty spot.

Nairn went in front just before half time when Tom Maclennan connected with Kenny McKenzie's pass in the box and found the net from 10 yards.

Nairn held on to their lead in the second half to bring all three points back to Station Park.
