Manx team 6th overall

The Isle of Man finished in 6th place in the medals table at the 2007 Nat West Island Games.

In a sometimes controversial week of competition, Manx athletes claimed a total of eleven golds, 15 silvers and 26 bronze medals.

The highlight of the final day was a "one-two-three" for the Isle of Man in the rifle shooting.
