A dominant Elgin City side put six goals past Nairn County without reply in a one‑sided friendly fixture. The result highlighted a gulf in current fitness levels and sharpness between the two teams, as Elgin City completed a comprehensive 6–0 victory.

Elgin City in Command

Elgin City took the lead inside the first five minutes, a low cross turned home at the near post. They added a second before the quarter‑hour mark, capitalising on a defensive misjudgement. Nairn County struggled to keep possession, and Elgin’s midfield dictated the tempo throughout the first half. By the break, the visitors had already notched four goals, leaving the home side with a mountain to climb.

No Let‑Up After the Interval

There was no mercy after half‑time as Elgin continued to attack. A fifth goal arrived from a set piece, and the sixth came from a swift breakaway. Nairn County’s goalkeeper made several good saves to prevent an even larger defeat, but his teammates could not create any clear‑cut chances at the other end.

Lessons for Nairn

Nairn County will use this friendly as a wake‑up call as they prepare for their competitive season. Elgin City’s sharpness and organisation showed why they are a well‑drilled side, and the result will give their manager plenty of encouragement. For Nairn, defensive solidity will be a major focus in the remaining friendlies.
