Coach believes it'll be huge experience for Manx competitors
Team Isle of Man is 'very excited' to begin its journey at the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games from later today (4 August), according to one of the team's coaching staff.
The event is taking place this year in Trinidad & Tobago from 4-11 August with the opening ceremony being held this evening.
There will be seven Manx athletes taking part in competition there with three involved in swimming and two each taking part in athletics and cycling.
