Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 8 Nairn County 2 This Christmas Day game was spoiled by the weather. Heavy rain at the start must have kept back the crowd, and the pitch was sodden. In the early moments Nairn were the more impressive and within fifteen minutes were two goals ahead, the first by Longmuir and the second by Laird, a splendid effort. He beat the Ross defence and lofted the ball over the head of the advancing Newton. Things looked black for Ross County, but the forwards never lay down, and as time advanced their play became more methodical. Ferguson reduced the leeway with a beautiful header from a free kick taken by Urquhart. Thus encouraged, the home team kept up a sustained attack and Storrier had a busy time, and under pressure he was not too sound. When Ferguson equalised from an Urquhart cross, it was well-deserved. Just before halftime, Miller gave Ross County the lead with a left foot drive that was labelled goal all the way. After the hot cup of tea, play favoured the homesters, and they scored almost as they liked. Cameron increased the lead with a glorious header from an Urquhart cross. Cameron also got the fifth, after a good piece of work by Urquhart. Ferguson and Clark added to the total, and near the close Cameron got the eighth and joined Ferguson in scoring a hat-trick. Under such difficult conditions, it was a strenuous game. Nairn County did well in the first half, later they appeared to lose heart. Their best players were Bochel at centre-half, Mathers, right half, and Laird, centre-forward. For Ross County Ferguson was the best man on the field, closely followed by the ever-up-and-doing Cameron. Sutherland was also good in the half-line. Urquhart and Clark worked hard, but both are better suited to dry conditions rather than wet.
