In the last 4 encounters against Cowden we have scored in the first 10 minutes of play , and only once ran out victorious.
And true to that pattern QP took the lead in the 9th Minute. Alan Trouten with a bit of skill beat Gary Fusco and slotted the ball past Fleming. That lead only lasted 3 minutes. When Darren Gribben played through Liam Buchanan who fired past DC.
Referee McDonald then produced two yellow cards , Steven Reilly for a late challenge and Paul Harvey for dissent after a foul went against him.
On the 35th minute Queen's continued their history of conceding daft goals. A cut back from Shiels on the edge of the box found Gribben who slotted by Crawford.
QP had one last chance before half-time. Mark Ferry played through Frankie Carroll who should have done better with his strike which he put across goal.
Queens' did get the equaliser 25 seconds into the second half. A long ball from Sinclair found Trouten who used his strength to beat Fusco and cooly nutmegged Fleming.
But it wasn't to be as Gribben unleashed a cracking shot on goal on the hour which beat Crawford.
Queen's continued to play the ball forward but to no avail. The game went out with Whelan , Ferry & Weatherston coming on for Graham , Reilly & Clark in the dying moments.
