Millie Lavin also made her senior debut, playing the full 80 minutes.
Caird said: “ I was really proud that Lexi was selected along with some of the younger girls to represent the first team when we were short due to injuries and other commitments.
“Not only that but she stepped up and played really well linking up brilliantly with our experienced girls up front Jeanette McGregor and Rachael Borthwick.
“Playing with the Kingussie u14s and the Badenoch Ladies second team has really helped her confidence.
“Our club is full of role models that Lexi looks up to and the encourage- ment she gets is second to none.
“I nearly hung up my boots last year but this was the aim for this year to play alongside Lexi at some point in the season. I’m delighted we have had that chance already!”
