Powerlifting: Isle of Man squad confirmed for 2026 Home Nations

Island will host event for the first time later this month

Powerlifting Isle of Man has confirmed its squad to take on the 2026 Home Nations Powerlifting Championship.

Nine athletes will fly the Manx flag when it takes on counterparts from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on Saturday, 21 November.

This year will also be the first time the competition has been held here and will take place the Comis Hotel and Golf Resort in Santon.

Five athletes make up the Isle of Man women's squad - Jo-Ann Corr, Teagan Lindsay, Katie Lovelady and Janet Pam.

Meanwhile, the four making up the men's lineup will be James Baker, Charlie Faragher, Morgan Howard-Browne and Eamon McKiernan.

All will be coached during the event by Lisa Grant, Kerry Lindsay, Jackie Wade and Liz Young.

Having made its debut at the event in 2023, the Isle of Man has gone on to compete in each Home Nations Championship since then.

Last year the Isle of Man team secured its best ever points haul at the championship of 780.3 when it was held at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham.
