Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 2 Nairn County 3 On a pitch well-nigh sodden, which made the ball heavy and accurate kicking difficult, Ross County had Nairn County as opponents in a Highland League fixture at Dingwall on Saturday. Undoubtedly weather conditions handicapped play, which was never of a brilliant order. Nairn were the first lot to draw attention in forcing two corners in quick succession, but Mackay's pass to Stewart brought no result. Even play followed for a minute or two with perhaps Nairn a little superior in outfield. The first goal was an affair of seconds. A quick rush up the field by Nairn, a clever pass, and Hendry took his chance to put Nairn in the lead. Hendry missed a great chance of repeating when Mac Neil stopped a rocket shot. In the next instant J. Ross got off on his own and shot over the bar. Another ball from J. G. Mackay was fumbled by the Nairn custodian, but he was able to gather it in again. Ross County were now getting more into stride, and for a while seemed to command play, but their great weakness was in failure to concentrate on goal. Webster was seldom troubled. J. Ross turned a nice shot but he had no luck. Nairn deserved their one-goal lead at half-time. Veterans Mackintosh and Bowie were responsible for any superiority displayed by the visitors, and their steady influence on the team was easily detected. No sooner had the second half started than Ross County drew level. It was the result of a fine run by Morgan Mackay, whose parting shot was deflected by James Ross's head into the net. Ross was suspiciously offside, but referee Maclean, despite Nairn's protest, ruled otherwise. Hendry got away on his own and scored a beautiful goal when he tricked Mackay and beat Mac Neil all ends up. Ross County's reply came soon after and this was perhaps the best goal of the match. A combined run started by Stewart and continued by Mackay saw James Ross easily score the second equaliser from a perfect pass. A stiff tussle ensued for the winning goal, which came from Macdonald after a mix-up in front of goal. Ross County showed weakness at half, Moir being the best of the three. With one outstanding exception no player afield attempted to adapt himself to the bad weather conditions. Morgan Mackay was the exception. His play was streets ahead of his colleagues, who failed to take advantage of his deft touches and well-placed passes. Ross County effected drastic changes in their team for this game, but if they are to improve their position they have to get more strength at back and centre-half. Nairn County was the team to show the greater combination, and the movements of the halves and forwards had more purpose about them.
