Queens fine start continues

Livingston 0 Queens 1
Lewis Kidd’s second-half free-kick was enough to give Queen of the South a victory away to Livingston.
Myles Hippolyte missed an early opportunity for the hosts, firing over the bar before Derek Lyle’s shot was saved well by Livi’s Darren Jamieson.
Jamieson also denied Ryan Conroy before being beaten by Kidd’s deflected shot from the edge of the box.
Craig Sives nearly headed the equaliser, but Robbie Thomson made a terrific save with 10 minutes left.
Boss James Fowler said he is delighted with the six points from six so far in the Championship.
“It’s a new team and a lot of younger ones have featured early in the season. We are still kind of growing in confidence, getting to know each other, having a better understanding within the group as well, and adding one or two new players.
“So it’s important that we pick up the results along the way as well and that breeds confidence.”
