Following a break for the SPFL Trust Trophy it was a return to league one business and a trip to Falkirk.
Manager, Marvin Bartley made one enforced change to the side the beat Partick last week, the injured Lewis Gibson missed out and was replaced in the starting eleven by Oscar MacIntyre who was cup tied for the game at Firhill.
The hosts started the game top of the table on goal difference from Hamilton and made a positive start winning a free kick in the opening minute. Callum Morrison curled a right foot shot just wide of Harry Stones right-hand post.
As Queens pressed Gavin Reilly switched the ball wide to MacIntyre on the opposite side of the park, the full back set up Lee Connelly but his effort was headed clear by Coll Donaldson.
Three minutes later it was another chance for the home side, when Finn Yeats found Morrison with a pass and as he whipped the ball in, Ross MacIver headed over. Aidan Nesbitt was next up for the Bairns, but he dragged his shot low and wide.
Midway through the first half, Queens were forced to make a change when Craig McGuffie was stretched off with what looked like a bad ankle injury. He was replaced by Kieran McKechnie.
The sub almost opened the scoring just before the half hour mark with a powerful strike that was heading for the top corner, but agonisingly crashed back off the crossbar and as Connelly pounced for the rebound, Donaldson cleared.
A ball into the box was left by MacIver for Morrison but as he lined up the shot Efe Ambrose cleared. At the other end, the ball was kicked away as Reilly lined up a shot before Jordan Houston made a fantastic run and skipped the challenge to play in Connelly. As he caught it on the volley with the outside of his right boot the ball was swerving but not enough and ended on the wrong side of the post.
As half time approached Liam Henderson headed over and Kyle McClelland headed out for a corner after Morrison made a run.
And then in added on time at the end of the first half, Queens were forced into a further change as Reegan Mimnaugh who had picked up a knock earlier left the field with Josh Todd coming on.
HALF TIME: Falkirk 0 Queens 0
The first real chance of the second half fell to the home side when the lively Morrison made his way down the right, his delivery was into the danger area, but Ambrose headed clear. Morrison managed to get it back in again, but this time Stone collected easily.
It was no surprise that it was John McGlynns side that was pressing but Queens were defending well and as Brad Spence had a go from distance, he was way too high.
Queens were having to weather the storm and break when they could. Connelly and MacIntyre both tried to push forward but they couldnt create a danger in the final third.
The home side had a lot of the ball but werent causing any real danger, although Morrison was given too much space on the wing and as he played it in for Aidan Nesbitt, Stone made a brave challenge inside the box to collect at his feet.
In a Queens attack, McKechnie and Reilly were in but as the latters effort was blocked and as the ball fell to Harry Cochrane, he caught it on the wrong foot and his shot from distance was off target.
Queens were pushing forward in the final quarter of an hour, but it was the home side who sealed the win with two minutes of normal time remaining when Spencer fired a right foot shot across Stone into the bottom corner.
Full Time: Falkirk 1 Queens 0
