Twelve-strong Island team heading to New Zealand this month
This month will see a historic occasion for the sport of powerlifting on the Isle of Man.
Manx Powerlifting is set to take part in the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships in Auckland, New Zealand from 28 November to 4 December.
It'll be the first time the Island has ever put forward an international team in the sport after being formed only a year ago.
Two of the Island's team members, Lisa Grant and Jo Corr, are very much looking forward to the experience:
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
Sixth candidate declares for Glenfaba and Peel
