It has been a tough start to the campaign for Ross and Cromarty who suffered defeats in both of their matches so far.

Ross and Cromarty started their campaign with a 4–2 defeat against Orkney at North Kessock.

They ran Nairn St Ninian close in a 3-2 defeat in a five-goal thriller at Nairn Showfield.

League leaders Sutherland are three points clear of the chasing pack at the top of the table. They will look to maintain their winning start to the campaign when they travel to face Orkney on Sunday afternoon.

Bottom of the table Brora Rangers are looking for their first win of the season whe they face Nairn St Ninian at Dudgeon Park.

Brora Rangers began their campaign with a 5–0 defeat to Sutherland in the county derby on the opening day of the season.

n Meanwhile, the draw for the Highlands and Islands League Cup has been made.

Ross and Cromarty will travel to Thurso to take on Caithness in the last eight.
