Livingston’s strong end to the season continued with a 3-0 away victory against Stirling University. Goals from Hannah Davie, Ashley Elizabeth and Natasha Frew saw Livingston record a fourth win in a row, setting up a dramatic final day of the season.

A bright start from the hosts saw Molly Reece called into action on a few occasions to gather long balls over the top before Livingston came into their own. Jess Murphy went close with a header from a corner before the deadlock was broken in the 14th minute.

A nice through ball by Ashley Elizabeth was met by Hannah Davie who cleverly cut inside before lifting the ball over the Stirling goalkeeper to give the Lionesses the advantage.

Livi grew in confidence following the opener, soon adding to their lead. Ashley Elizabeth this time latched onto a through ball, volleying home for her 11th goal of the season and continuing her great run of recent form.

A handball saw a penalty awarded to Livingston, with captain Natasha Frew assuming responsibility and firing high to make it 3-0 before half time.

The second half was a comfortable showing for Livingston as they played well and created chances despite not being able to add to their lead.

The result sees Stirling University relegated to the Championship whilst setting up a dramatic final day of the season where Livingston can still finish in the playoffs.

Livingston need to win against champions Queens Park and hope Kilmarnock drop points against Boroughmuir Thistle should they hope to squeeze into second place and into the SWPL 1 playoff spot.
