Raphoe earned a much-needed home win this afternoon against Queen’s at the Royal & Prior, writes Charlie Collins.

And it was a come from behind success as well, with the away team taking the initiative in the 14^thminute with a goal from Philip Campbell – the goal coming against the run of play.

Raphoe had plenty of the ball, but it took until the 34^thminute for them to get level. The goal came from Johnny Long with a fine flick home when Keith Meehan had set up the chance.

A minute later Raphoe came within a whisker of going ahead for the first time, only for Tommy Orr to marginally miss out on getting the all-important touch to a Gavin Lecky centre.

The third quarter failed to find another goal, with Raphoe pressing and Queen’s soaking it all up and then proving to be a danger when they broke.

However, on the hour-mark, Orr picked up possession and fired a winner home to ensure Raphoe got the victory.
