An understrength visitors maintained their fight for the premier division title with this hard earned win over a QPS side who failed to convert a lot of chances.

The home side started well with Paul Grant’s corner headed wide by Barry McColgan before McColgan’s cross found Seanan McColgan but his effort was blocked behind for a corner.

From the corner Donny Bell was well placed but headed wide.

Midway through the half Redcastle replied when a corner broke to Stephen Davenport who fired wide from the edge of the area.

Kevin Wallace then fired just wide after good work by Sean Harkin and Terry McColgan.

On 39 minutes they spurned a great opportunity when Bell was upended but Barry McColgan’s effort clipped the outside of the post.

Before the interval Grant’s cross was only partially cleared allowing Raymond Buchanan to fire just over.

On the hour mark Terry McColgan found Buchanan but he hit the side netting.

Redcastle broke the deadlock on 66 minutes when Marty McNutt’s free found the unmarked Martin Farren at the back post and he headed home.

Paul Doherty then crossed from the left but Joe Doherty volleyed over before McNutt’s twenty yards effort was well saved by Mark Duffy.

The Point had the last chance late on when Grants’ corner was met McColgan’s head, but it went over, and with it went Quigley’s Points slender hopes of landing the title.

Redcastle remain in the hunt, but can afford no slip-ups in their remaining two matches ahead of the inevitable showdown with Clonmany.
