Macrae found himself free in the Academy box and he powered home his header
into the top corner of the net from a Callum MacLean cross.
0 – 3

free-kick into the Nairn box which they failed to clear. The ball fell to
Steven Anderson and he smashed a low drive into the bottom left hand corner of
the net.

In the next attack Academy looked as if they had pulled back
another when a diving header from Michael Steven looked goal-bound but the
young Nairn keeper Dylan MacLean made a good save.
Nairn put the game to bed on 12 minutes from full-time when
Jack MacLean bagged his second of the game. He broke through the Academy
defence and got onto the end of a long pass before coolly firing the ball across
the face of McCarthy and into the opposite corner of the net.
1 – 4
In the last kick of the game Academy's bad day got even
worse when Sean McCarthy had an air-kick at a pass-back from Michael Steven
allowing Wayne MacKintosh a free run in on goal and he slotted the ball home
into an empty net.
1 – 5
Full Time – Wick Academy 1 – Nairn County 5
