Queens under 19’s continued their CAS league fixtures on Tuesday when a strong Ayr United side visited Palmerston.
Joe Thomson scored for Queens after ten minutes but they found themselves trailing by three goals to one at the break. With sixteen minutes of the game remaining, William Salfenmoser reduced the deficit but they couldn’t find an equaliser and it was the Somerset Park side who claimed the win.
Full Time: Queens 2 Ayr United
Coach Eddie Warwick said “We are disappointed not to take anything from the game as we feel we deserved at least a draw. The first half we were too passive and made poor decisions when in possession and gave away cheap goals. We also felt our reactions needed to be better when losing the ball and when they hit us on the counter attack. We demanded more from each player at the break and in the second half, we were much better. We were a lot braver and played higher up the pitch putting Ayr under pressure and making them defend. We created good opportunities and scored a good goal but unfortunately, we had given ourselves too much to do.”
The under 19s are back in action on Sunday (15th Nov) when they welcome Alloa Athletic to Palmerston. Kick-off 3pm.
