Young people taking part across 15 different sports this year
Hundreds of youngster are set to take part in the 2024 Manx Youth Games being held on Island today (11 May).
Children from year groups two up to ten are getting involved in 15 different sporting disciplines on Saturday following training sessions which have been taking place since January.
One of the key aims is to boost junior participation in sport - as athletes or in other roles - for the future.
Gareth Lloyd of Manx Sport & Recreation says the occasion is about much more than playing competitively:

Hockey: Isle of Man Men's Over-35's march on in EH Championships
Archery: Isle of Man lineup announced for 2027 Island Games
Gymnastics: Island duo put in positive performances in Telford
