The Shire made the trip without FIVE first team players while Queen's welcomed back long term injury Steven Reilly.
Reilly entered the squad replacing Gavin Rushford , also Mark Ferry replaced Alan Trouten and young Richard Bowers made his debut replacing the suspended Stuart Kettlewell.
So Queen's went with a 5-3-2 formation which worked.
The Spiders were creating chances from the start. Ross Clark , Frankie Carroll and Mark Ferry all came close in the first 20 minutes and on 21 mins the opener came.
Ferry took the ball past a slipping David Harvey and played through Big Tony Quinn who rifled the ball past a despairing Derek Jackson.
Queen's continued to create chances , Ross Clark , Mark Ferry & Young Richard Bowers all squandered good chances before half time.
Queen's came back out in the second half and extended the lead. Paul Harvey played a short corner to Mark Ferrt , he played the ball back and his swerving shot was blocked on the line and Richard Bowers rifled the ball high into the net.
Queen's again made chances. Frankie Carroll , Richard Bowers , Mark Ferry , Ross Clark , Paul Harvey & Sub Ally Graham all squandered goalscoring oppurtunites.
Let's see where this leads to.
