Hastings to open 15th Games
The Manx Youth Games mark their 15 anniversary next weekend.
Organisers have announced the guest of honour.
Former Scotland rugby union international and British Lion Gavin Hastings will attend the opening ceremony, and will also lead a training session the day before with youngsters who will be playing rugby at the games.
It's one of the 13 sports which will be contested.
Senior Sport Development Officer Gianni Epifani says it's quite a coup to get someone of Hastings' stature involved:
Multiple Manx athletes taking on 2026 Spine Race events
Burscough to be FC Isle of Man's latest visitors
Hockey: 2026 season to get underway this weekend
Rugby: Douglas looking to get back on track against Burnage
