Hopes to still take relatively large squad to Glasgow next summer
Team Isle of Man says it's positive to see the Isle of Man will still have a relatively large team heading to the scaled-down Commonwealth Games next summer.
In a change from previous events, the new-look games taking place in Glasgow in 2026 will feature ten sports, down from the 19 seen in Birmingham back in 2022.
Despite this, the Isle of Man Commonwealth Games Association (IOMCGA) is anticipating the total amount of contenders they can take could be 'in the mid-20's'.
Although an exact squad size isn't confirmed yet, Team Isle of Man Chef du Mission, Erica Bellhouse believes next summer will provide important opportunities for a good amount of local competitors:
Ravens run riot against AFC Liverpool
FC Isle of Man and AFC Liverpool to meet in vital hunt for points
Hockey: Cup finals double-header on the cards
Rugby: Douglas to host Sandbach in big top-of-the-table clash
