The injury news was very mixed and slightly different from that the night before. Stuart Kettlewell, David Weatherston and Bryan Felvus were all in the coaches sixteen after passing fitness tests, Kettlewell lined up in a protective cast as he made his 100th appearance in a Queen's jersey.
Though, Richard Sinclair was ruled out late on leaving the untested trio of Shaun Molloy, Damiano Agostini and Jonny Whelan at centre half. Paul Paton played right wing back with Alan Trouten bizzarely at Left Wing Back. Quinn, Kettlewell and Harvey made up the midfield with Mark Ferry dropping to the bench so Weatherston could partner Proctor up front.
Queen's defensive frailties were exposed early in when Berwick took the lead. A mix up between Trouten, Molloy, Agostini and Crawford led to a Berwick throw on the right which was thrown to the winger whose cross was headed back by Agostini and former Shire striker (playing at left back) Chris McGroarty tapped home for the visitors.
Kettlewell had two chances with a tame effort from range and an attempt at a overhead kick which trickled wide of the mark. McLeish had a golden chance to double Berwick's lead when he hit a shot wide from twelve yards wide after more comical defending.
The second half was more incident free on the pitch than the first half with neither side creating many chances, the best chance fell to Shaun Molloy whose brilliant one two with sub Felvus left him with a four yard tap in, which he screwed wide.
No goals in four games. Laughable attempts at finishing. Something needs to be done before the trip to what will be a cold and bitter night in Arbroath.
