Under 19s blitz Stranraer to clinch title

Livingston's Under 19 side hit bottom of the league Stranraer for TEN yesterday afternoon to wrap up the Youth Division championship in style.

The visitors offered little resistance to a Livi side chasing a fourth consecutive championship at Under 19 level, and the result was never in doubt following a five goal blitz inside the first 35 minutes.

Top scorer Marc McNulty had hit a hat-trick by that stage, with Michael Travis and Andy Russell also on the mark.

Further second half goals from Connor Scott, Neil Hastings, Ross Gray, Michael Travis and Bryce Naples saw the scoreline hit double figures.

The Lions' fourteenth straight league win moved them onto 58 points, a figure which cannot be bettered by nearest rivals Raith Rovers.
