Shanley smacked an effort off the bar in the first half and sent another effort just over while Hodge hit an effort wide as Strollers dominated the early proceedings. Shanley played a key role in the Christie Gillies Park side's opener, intercepting a hopeful pass and chipping the ball over the Uni defence to Cammy Muirhead, who finished with aplomb.

The University levelled matters with just their fifth goal of the campaign through Patrick Baird, but Strollers hit back in spectacular fashion through Hodge. Alieau Faye threaded the ball through to the former St Johnstone kid, who took a touch before rifling a low effort from around 25 yards beyond Uni 'keeper Kieran McDougall. Muirhead hit his second, and Strollers' third, for a comfortable win.
