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:
Classic TT: Nathan Harrison fronts star-studded Formula One class
Classic TT: 2026 Historic Junior seeded riders confirmed
Athletics: 2026 IoM Marathon & Half-Marathon Championship awaits this weekend
Snooker: Isle of Man gets set for 2026 Home International
