Billy Stark made a few changes from the side that bravely fought back against Elgin City at Bourough Briggs.
Shaun Molloy, Richard Bowers & Alan Trouten to be replaced by debutant Mick Dunlop, Davie Weatherston & Paul Harvey.
Queen's started the stronger and after creating a few early half chances they took the lead on seventeen minutes.
A cross from the far side was excellently tucked in the bottom left corner by Paul Harvey.
And moments later QP were two up. A few passes in the middle of the park found the ball at the feet of Mark Ferry whose expertly taken 35 yard lob decieved the goalkeeper Jackson and ended up in the net.
The Spiders had more chances before the end of the half. Stuart Kettlewell rattled the post from ten yards and Mark Ferry drilled a shot at Shire keeper Derek Jackson.
In the second half Queen's created even more chances. David Weatherston & Jonny Whelan both had chances from crosses by fantastic debutant Mick Dunlop.
After that Mark Ferry delivered a cross and it somehow eluded Jonny Whelan at the near post.
Queen's wrapped the game up on eighty-three minutes. A cross by sub Bowers was headed home powerfully by another sub, John Weir at the back post.
A comfortable win for Queen's then, now, bring on the fifers.
