This will be a tough encounter for Queens especially after their late night exploits at East End Park in midweek. This will have taken it's physical toll but with hopefully they should be up to the challenge and claim three points. Queens will have Lilley back after injury along with Hutton but Johnston and O'Connor are still out.
