Highland League

Nairn County 4

Strathspey Thistle 2

Nairn County won a Highland League match for the first time this season as they defeated Strathspey Thistle 4-2 to avoid going bottom of the table.

It has been the first time Nairn County have won a game in six months after going through a dreadful run of 12 matches without a win in all competitions.

Nairn's last victory was a 5-3 win against Turriff United on the final day of last season on Saturday, April 16 which was 189 days ago.

But their six month wait for a competitive victory came to an end this afternoon with Callum MacLean putting them in front after 14 minutes.

Nairn doubled their advantage through Conor Gethins four minutes before half time.

Scott Davidson extended their advantage seven minutes after the break with Gethins making it 4-0 in the 72nd minutes.

Strathspey threatened a comeback late on when they scored twice, but Nairn held on for all three points.
