Award-winning athlete describes team as 'like a family'
2023 has been described as a 'magical' year for Special Olympics Isle of Man by one of its athletes recognised at the 2023 Isle of Man Sports Awards this week.
Duncan Watterson was named Disability Sportsperson of the Year at the latest ceremony at the Villa Marina in Douglas on Wednesday evening (28 February).
