A well-organised Queens Park controlled the tempo to lead 2-0 at halftime.
The first goal on 30 minutes was a glancing header from Michael Larsen that went in off the post.
Their lead was doubled when Roslyn’s defence was caught in possession and the ball was squared across to Larsen to finish.
Roslyn had chances to equalise when Nathan Wilkie put an effort narrowly wide, and from a corner headed wide, and in the second half had a goal disallowed for offside.
Queens Park held on for all the points despite Ben Salisbury running from deep and calmly finishing.
Mosgiel had to dig deep to overcome a well-drilled Northern Hearts 3-1.
Hearts took the lead when Bailey Chambers reacted quickest to the loose ball midway through the first half.
Harvey Stephens slotted in the equaliser before the break.
Hearts keeper Hamish Fikken was outstanding in denying his old team-mates and it looked as if they might claim a share of the points until Mosgiel’s dynamic Morgan Day finished from close range with 12 minutes left. With time up Jaxon Maze flicked a header on to Rhys Quarrell who finished.

• The Royals claimed the women’s South Island qualifying league when they beat University 1-0 in a tight tussle.
The game was locked 0-0 and University pushed forward in the last 10min looking for a winner.
But with the back three playing a higher line, they were left exposed when Royals’ Hannah Mackay-Wright scored in injury time.
The Royals dominated possession and territory but University goalkeeper Hayley Julian was in sparkling form, making some top-class saves.
University had periods of inventive play but were not able to find the cutting edge in the final third.
Both teams will now advance to the South Island League, but if they are to be serious contenders, they will need to be more clinical.
Roslyn claimed third with a 10-0 win over Green Island in which Abbey Neilson scored four goals.
