Queens Park SFC once again left it late, but when the moment arrived, it was one of their own who seized it.
Thirteen-year club veteran Kieran Friel stepped off the bench to slot home a thrilling late winner, sealing a 3–2 victory and securing back-to-back wins at Nethercraigs.

The scoreline tells the story of a tight contest, but Queens Park will know it could—and perhaps should—have been more comfortable. A flurry of missed chances kept the visitors alive deep into the match, forcing supporters to ride every wave of the contest’s momentum.
The opposition came to battle, refusing to fold under pressure and turning the match into a midfield war at times. But composure speaks, and few players embody the club quite like Friel.
His late strike wasn’t just a goal; it was a moment born from years of loyalty, patience, and understanding of what it means to wear the badge.
When the chance finally fell to him, there was no hesitation—just clinical execution and pure celebration.
Queens Park SFC march away with a deserved three points, their winning streak intact, and a reminder that experience under pressure is priceless.
And tonight, Kieran Friel proved once more why legends aren’t just born—they’re built over years.
A hero’s moment.
A vital win.
A morning to remember at Nethercraigs Sports Centre.
