Our U19s Cas league games continued this afternoon when we welcomed Kelty Hearts to Palmerston.

After a goal-less first half, Taylor Davidson scored the only goal of the game with just over twenty minutes to go when he fired home a free-kick from distance.

Full Time: Queens 1 Kelty Hearts 0

Coach Eddie Warwick said “Again we had a very young team out. With just four of our regular under 19s in the team, the side was made up with boys from the u17s and some trialists.”

“There were a lot of positives from Tuesday night when he faced a tough Edinburgh City side and we wanted to build on that and I felt we did. It was our third game in the space of seven days and we played some good football this afternoon but just missed the end product at times due to some tired legs but they dug deep, kept an important clean sheet and deserved the 1-0 win. The players can be pleased with their efforts this week having taken six points from nine.”

The side are back in action, next Wednesday 29th April when they travel to Airdrie.

Queens made the trip from the south-west to the north-east to take on Peterhead knowing that a point would secure their place in the top four. Manager, Peter Murphy made two changes to the starting eleven from last week?s game at home to Cove with Jack Stott and Ben Johnstone coming in for Liam Smith and Jordan Allan who dropped to the bench. With a seven-point gap between the sides, the hosts needed a win to keep their hopes of making the play-offs alive and they made a good start to the game. Jamie Sneddon reacted well to get down to push clear Josh Kerr?s right foot effort after six minute ...

Tomorrow, we head north to face Peterhead knowing that a victory would secure our place in the promotion play-offs. The hosts two-nil home defeat to Inverness on Tuesday leaves them seven points behind us with nine to play for.

However, it isn’t going to be easy as the Blue Toon are 2-1 up on wins this season. After a 4-0 home win at Palmerston in August we suffered a first ever defeat against them when they won 3-0 at the Balmoor Stadium in front of the TV cameras in October. Then in February, the Aberdeenshire side secured another three points when Kieran Shanks penalty and a header from Jason Brown earned them a 2-0 when the two sides last meet.

Ahead of the game, manager Peter Murphy said “We are in a good position and know that we can secure our place in the play-offs with a win but Peterhead have shown they are a good side. We are disappointed in the way we have played against them the last couple of times but we have been on a good run, are unbeaten in six and the boys are full of confidence. It’s a long journey but we know if we can put in a good performance, we cement our place in the top four which has always been our aim. So, we just have to keep doing what we're doing we've got three big games coming up against the teams in and around us, and we'll look forward to them.”

We were in CAS under 19 league action this evening with an away game at Edinburgh City. It was a very young team that took to the field with six of the under 17s side starting.

It was an excellent first half performance from the whole team and Caiden Baty opened the scoring after twenty minutes before Lewis White doubled the advantage fifteen minutes later to give Queens a two goal cushion at the break.

Half Time: Edinburgh City 0 Queens 2

The boys were very unlucky not to be further ahead at the interval but struggled to cope as Edinburgh made a fast start to the second half and were the better team from the restart until around seventy minutes, a period where they controlled the game and pulled one back.

The boys got a second wind and had a good ten minute spell where they missed a couple of great opportunities to score a third and after two great saves from their goalkeeper they regained control and as a group we looked really tired allowing them to score three goals in the final ten minutes to win the game. 

Full Time: Edinburgh City 4 Queens 2

Coach Eddie Warwick said “Overall we are pleased with most of the performance tonight. To be 2-1 ahead at the 80 minute mark with over half the team playing two years above their age group the players should be very proud of their performance individually and collectively. We understand we weren’t on the right side of the result tonight but we will learn and take huge positives from it moving forward.”
