Early in 1919 an incident on the links was to have an impact that was to galvanise the town behind the idea of a local team in the Highland League. Please read on.

FOOTBALL ON THE LINKS.
(To the Editor of the Nairnshire Telegraph).
Sir,- a few demobilised Nairn loons were playing football on the links last Saturday. While the game was in full swing, a policeman was sent down from the town to stop us. How is it, while the war was on and all the local boys away fighting, that Canadians were allowed to play football and base ball on the links?
Is it fair, after them destroying the cricket pitch, that we boys who have done our bit should be debarred from having a game? Had the pitch been in order, we would never have thought of playing on it, but as it is, we think we are quite justified in bringing this to the notice of the public - Yours, etc.,
A DEMOBILISED SOLDIER
