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:
Public asked to 'stay well clear' of grounded tall ship in Ramsey
RCN wants members to 'make up their own mind' on Manx Care pay offer
Five-yearly NI Fund review brought forward
Pet owners heading to EU or Northern Ireland warned of passport changes
Friday sailings rearranged due to tidal restrictions
