However, since then they have gone on to win the trophy 8 times and are the current holders. Their 8th victory put them on a par with Forres Mechanics & Brora Rangers for the number of trophy wins. Only Clachnacuddin, Caledonian, Elgin City & Inverness Thistle have now won this trophy more times than Nairn County.
