THE under-20s play their first home match of the season and their first ever home Football Times Cup tie as they welcome St Duthus to Station Park. The competition is for North Caledonian League clubs with Nairn County the only under-20s side competing this season. It is sure to represent a stern test for Stuart Finnie’s side coming up against an adult team in competitive action and the County colts head coach needs only to look to last season to know exactly how difficult it will be to progress having seen his side go down 2-0 at the same stage of the same competition. Updates from the match will be available on the club’s official social media channels by logging on to facebook.com/nairncountyfc or following @NairnCounty on Twitter.
