The most Northerly League Club in the country hosted Dunfermline Athletic for the first time in March although it took three trips there to play one match. In March just as the teams looked like finishing 1-1, former East End Park favourite, Craig Brewster struck with a wonder goal to keep all three points in the Highlands. Last time around the Pars won 3-1 with Calum Woods, Andy Kirk and Graham Bayne scoring to avoid being dragged into the fight to avoid the play off ninth place in the First Division.
