With an injury crisis at Hampden it meant that youngsters Andy McGinty , Paul McClory & Tony Livingston made the bench along with a returning QP favourite Jonny Whelan.
So the Spiders started with Reilly , Molloy , Trouten & Rushford along the back with a 5-man midfield including Clark , Harvey , Ferry , Blair & Kettlewell supporting the lone striker Frankie Carroll.
Ref Finnie stamped his authority on the game early on , blowing his whistle at every possible moment.
The Peterhead attacked looked lively and Scott Michie's tenth minute overhead kick glided over the bar. Queen's were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box minutes later but Harvey's effort , helped by wind & a deflection , went wide.
Queen's lost the opener after 28 minutes. Graeme Stewart chesting down and firing by DC in the spiders goal.
Queen's were looking pretty hopeless and Martin Bavidge & Scott Michie almost fired the home team into a 2 goal lead on several occasions.
In the second half QP looked more lively , Alan Trouten & Shaun Molloy both could have done better crosses , no trouble for the Peterhead goalie Paul Mathers.
Mark Ferry came close and a Shaun Molloy free-kick , given for a Perry foul on Trouten flew over the bar .
On 76 minutes what Spiders fans were waiting for happened , Favourite Jonny Whelan replaced Brian Blair.
Moments later the Blue Toon scored a second. A cross caused confusion between Rushford & Crawford let Tully nod home from 15 yds.
Queen's were in it a minute later though. Frankie Carroll headed home a Whelan knockdown.
Queen's should have equalised Jonny Whelan firing of a defender leaving Trouten to fire the volley off Mathers.
It was looking one of those so near yet so far days until the 90th minute , Ross Clark rushed into the penalty box and he looked to throw himself at the ground Finnie pointed to the spot.
After bedlam for five minutes , Clark missed the penalty , but Mr.Lyon , the standside ref ordered a re-take. Which Steven Reilly converted. Bedlam ensuded on both stands as Reilly and the entire team celebrated towards the faithful support.
It was not over though , As the QP fans celebrated the Peterhead fans and players piled into the tunnel pursuing Mr.Finnie.
