Dumbarton’s home campaign in the 2024/25 League One season comes to an end tomorrow afternoon as Annan Athletic visit the Marbill Coaches Stadium [kick-off 3:00pm] Sons will be looking to end on a high when the Galabankies come calling and carry on what has been a decent run of form in recent weeks with just one defeat in six games it remains all to play for in the battle to avoid the relegation play-offs – they trail Inverness Caledonian Thistle by just one point heading into the final two games and will be hoping they slip up against champions Arbroath whilst they earn something at the Rock Boss Stevie Farrell isn’t keen for that to happen following on from last weeks 2-2 draw at Montrose and is looking for another committed performance he said: “It’s a tough place to go and Montrose are still fighting for points but we’ve showed again that we have good players and a good dressing room “We knew were going to come under pressure when we lost Mark Durnan and they went direct but when they keep on piling it on then they’re bound to get on the end of one “There’s one thing that can never be aimed at this group and I’ve been involved in teams that have had tough seasons and you maybe can see tools get downed at one stage They are an absolute credit and a joy to work with “The performances in League One on the whole have been excellent “We’re hopeful of ending our home season on a high tomorrow afternoon but there are a number of factors that make that difficult Annan are desperate for points to try and avoid the play-offs but we will be looking to make things difficult for them.” Supporters attending the Marbill Coaches Stadium tomorrow afternoon can find our match day information guide here: MATCH DAY INFORMATION: DUMBARTON VS ANNAN ATHLETIC –

Scotland has been working to make its websites more accessible - read our accessibility statement The Spiders made six changes to the line-up that saw off Hamilton Academical last weekend for their first game against the Black and Golds since 2021 with Sean Welsh skippering the side Cameron Kerr and Dom Thomas missed out all together with Calum Ferrie Roddy MacGregor and Jack Turner moving to the bench where they were joined by new recruit Seb Drozd The visitors started the game with Rocco Hickey-Fugaccia on the right wing in what was his first start and Ryan Duncan on the left It was Duncan that was first to threaten as he charged down the left and sent over a wicked cross that flashed across the Annan goalmouth but found no takers A minute later it looked like Liam McLeish was given a glimpse of goal however Jamie Smith darted from his line to smother Louis Longridge was penalised for a trip on Aidan Smith on six minutes with the hosts creating danger from the dead ball only for an offside flag to end their hopes of an opener Henry Fieldson and Duncan combined to win the game’s first corner on 10 minutes with Hickey-Fugaccia’s delivery nodded behind for a second corner This time Hickey-Fugaccia’s cross was close to generating a goal as Welsh met the ball with a header from six yards that just cleared the bar Shortly afterwards Duncan looked set to grab his first goal for the club when McLeish rolled a pass from right to left to the on-loan Aberdeen player 10 yards out however Smith spread himself well to save A goal arrived on 16 minutes when Fieldson moved down the left and fed a precise pass through the Galabankies defence for McLEISH who took a touch to compose himself and then found the far corner with a superb finish Midway through the opening half McLeish did well in his own box as he headed clear a dangerous looking Josh Todd cross and that allowed Queen’s to counter-attack through Duncan who won a corner Hickey-Fugaccia’s delivery again created danger however the home defence survived although a second goal arrived on 28 minutes much to the delight of the noisy Black and White fans behind the goal McLeish was the architect this time with a fine right to left cross-field pass that Duncan brought under control before firing back low into the far corner from 16 yards Queen’s had a real scare on 31 minutes when Smith wriggled clear and sent over a low cross that Ji Stevenson slid in to meet only for his close-range effort to slip wide and short ones from Rudden and Hickey-Fugaccia looked to have set-up McLeish to head in a third however Rhys Breen nodded away from under his own bar A chance from the resultant corner was lofted over the bar by McLeish with QP going close again in their next attack with a drive from Mauchin that flashed past Smith’s right-hand post Two minutes from the break Hickey- Fugaccia showed his prowess from a dead ball again with another superb delivery that Welsh came close to converting Half time – Annan Athletic 0 Queen’s Park 2 There were no changes for either side at the break with Welsh fouled in the opening seconds of the second half by Stevenson On 49 minutes Duncan picked out Rudden with a ball from the left with Smith glad to take it off the striker’s toes just as he was away to shoot Niko Ujdur stepped in to stop a home attack on 50 minutes and stepped up to set up a visiting raid that saw the ball cut across the home box The Spiders kept up their pressure on the Annan goal and Fieldson came close with the proverbial long-range rocket shot that just fizzed over Smith’s goal Three minutes later a third goal looked on when Duncan took over corner kick duties and found Ujdur who sent a header just over Smith took advantage of a loose ball to give Callum Davidson’s side a reminder that the game was not over by firing in a deflected drive that was watched carefully by Jack Wills as it squeezed past On 63 minutes it was 3-0 to Queen’s Park when Hickey-Fugaccia dinked a cross over from the right and McLeish forced a knockdown to RUDDEN who swivelled on the spot and chipped into the net from seven yards out There was a special moment midway through the second half when Academy Graduate Timam Scott was brought on to make his senior debut as he leapt high to save a well hit Paul McGowan effort from the edge of the box Drozd made his bow a minute later with Will Tizzard helping set up an attack that saw the former Millwall striker send a shot wide after beating a couple of defenders as a Drozd corner was pushed into the path of the defender who lashed high into the net There was another QP debut with ten minutes left when Reece Evans came on for McLeish Queen’s desire to keep Annan out was evidenced again with ten minutes left as Wills dived to keep out a Smith header and Ujdur darted across goal to block the striker’s effort from the follow up The clean-sheet was taken away however with four minutes to go as the ball broke to Charlie Maxwell and he slipped a shot out of the reach of Wills Annan were determined to go out with a bang and Wills was forced into two further smart stops to prevent the hosts adding a second

in the defensive half News / Stories the week-long residential for the 25 fellows of the Kofi Annan Fellowship in Global Health Leadership concluded in Cairo This marked the second residential session of the fourth cohort of fellows which ran from October 25 to November 1, providing opportunities for observation and the shaping of future global health leadership ideals Established in 2020 by Africa CDC and the Kofi Annan Foundation in honour of Kofi Atta Annan the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate the fellowship embodies Annan’s visionary and principled leadership It serves as a platform for developing the next generation of leaders who will drive transformative change in global health The Kofi Annan Global Health Leadership Programme comprises three components: the Fellowship “The Kofi Annan Fellowship in Global Health Leadership is a one-year executive leadership program designed to empower fellows with advanced leadership skills fellows participate in expert lectures on key leadership topics receive personalised executive coaching engage in leadership conversations with global health leaders and attend residential sessions to analyse and learn from health systems in various countries A cornerstone of the fellowship is the Leadership Challenge Project which tasks fellows with addressing a real-life challenge within their country or organization by applying the knowledge and skills gained during the Programme,” said Dr Technical Officer for Public Health Workforce Development at Africa CDC The Scholars Program fosters a South-to-South exchange initiative including participation from the African diaspora which enables African experts—both within the continent and abroad—to temporarily relocate to an African country and contribute to specific areas of expertise such as research and guideline development the Kofi Annan Public Health Policy Forum aspires to bring critical health-related discussions back to the African continent by fostering a platform for dialogue on contemporary regional challenges enhancing public health decision-making with practical and reliable information “The primary goal of the Policy Forum is to bring health-related discussions back to the African continent The inaugural forum will focus on critical contemporary topics including Africa’s health priorities for the South African Presidency of the G20 which seeks to emphasize how the continent can leverage this platform to prioritize health within a forum representing 85% of the global economy,” said Dr Cairo served as one of the residential locations for the fourth cohort of the Kofi Annan Fellowship in Global Health Leadership the fellowship organises four residential sessions designed to achieve multiple objectives Fellows examine the health systems of different African countries gaining valuable insights into their structures and challenges while engaging with national and global health leaders to foster collaborations and exchange knowledge The Programme emphasizes peer networking allowing participants to share experiences and build lasting professional relationships Representing diverse fields such as human medicine the fellows bring a wealth of expertise to the Programme A unique aspect of the fellowship is its focus on taking students on a historical journey to understand the historical background of the countries they visit “Most of our countries have been colonized and much of the history we know is the history that has been perpetuated by the global North,” said Dr This approach helps fellows appreciate the socio-political context of their work and enhances their perspective on leadership in global health the Programme includes practical exercises to deepen participants’ understanding of critical public health concepts with its rich history and dynamic health landscape provides an ideal setting for advancing these objectives Cairo is renowned for its expertise in One Health Fellows had the opportunity to engage with leading One Health experts and learn about Egypt’s establishment of a government-wide steering committee that integrates efforts from the human This collaborative model demonstrated how different ministries work together to drive meaningful change across these domains A key highlight of the fellowship was a keynote address by Professor Mohamed Hassany Assistant Minister for Projects and Public Health who shared Egypt’s remarkable journey in transforming its Hepatitis C response Once the country with the highest global burden of Hepatitis C Egypt became the first nation certified at the “Golden Tier” level for Hepatitis C elimination Professor Hassany highlighted the strategic public health initiatives behind this achievement emphasizing Egypt’s partnership with Africa CDC to support other African nations in replicating its success This exemplifies how targeted strategies and cross-sectoral collaboration can lead to transformative health outcomes fellows also toured the Cairo Mental Health Authority which provides critical support to individuals battling addiction they gained insights into the history of mental health in Egypt and explored how mental health is a complex leadership challenge that requires a coordinated and multi-sectoral approach This exposure emphasized the importance of mental health as a public health priority and the need for strong leadership to address it effectively Egypt’s strong vaccine manufacturing industry provided another focal point for the fellowship Fellows visited two leading local manufacturers of therapeutics and diagnostics gaining invaluable insights into Egypt’s advancements in health manufacturing in alignment with the New Public Health Order This exposure highlighted the country’s growing capacity to produce essential health products and contribute to the continent’s self-sufficiency Deputy Prime Minister for Human Capital Development and Minister of Health and Population affirmed Egypt’s strong commitment to fostering collaboration across the African continent He extended his full support to the fellows encouraging them as they pursue leadership roles that will drive transformative change in health across Africa Africa CDC Regional Director for North Africa Regional Coordinating Centre underscored the pivotal role of leadership development and South-South collaboration in advancing the New Public Health Order and achieving the goals of Agenda 2063 He

await for a League One fixture Sons will be looking to record their first win of the season over the Dumfries & Galloway outfit as they look to cut the gap at the foot of the table Stevie Farrell’s side registered a well-earned point against Alloa Athletic last weekend whilst tomorrow’s opponents picked up a 3-1 victory against Kelty Hearts In head to head fixtures between the sides this season ten-man Sons were unlucky not to earn a point against Annan back in September before the Galabankies ran out comfortable winners at the Rock in December Faz believes his side could have earned all three points against the Wasps last week but admits he can’t fault their effort and application in recent months he said: “We started the game really brightly last week and we could have found ourselves a couple up at the break had we taken a bit more care in the final third “After that it was obviously disappointing to concede early again in the second-half and we had Paddy to thank for a couple of important saves before we could have then won it again ourselves “I can’t speak highly enough of this group of players for dealing with everything they are having to deal with both on and off the park on a weekly basis and I know they aren’t far away from getting what they deserve “We deserved more last time we travelled to Galabank but on the flip side got what we deserved in the return fixture so we know we to be at it to take anything or we can get hurt “Training has been excellent once again this week with everyone continuing to give their all for this football club and there’s no danger of that stopping any time soon.” Matty Shiels and Brett Long remain the only two absentees Supporters making the journey tomorrow can purchase their tickets in advance using the
