Five star Brora back to winning ways as they prepare for Inverurie
BRORA Rangers returned to winning ways as they thrashed Nairn County 5-1 at Station Park on Tuesday night as they prepare to host Inverurie Locos at Dudgeon Park on Saturday.

Tony Dingwall doubled Brora Rangers’ advantage in the 12th minute when he dispossessed a defender and then managed to fire a shot past goalkeeper Dylan Mackay.
Nairn County pulled one back in the 23rd minute when Ben Barron beat the Brora defence in the air to fire home a corner kick as the two teams went into the break at 2-1.
Brora restored their two goal advantage 10 minutes into the second half when Ewan drove into the box before firing past the goalkeeper.
Michael Finnis made it 4-1 in the 63rd minute when he scored a diving header from a Craig Mackenzie cross.
The rout was compete when Dingwall grabbed his second of the match when he thumped a volley from a Ewan cross into the back of the net.
