The Isle of Man men's national football squad will be aiming to take top spot at the 2023 Island Games in Guernsey.
That's according to the team's manager, Blane Slattery, who says his main focus is to get his team in shape for the games taking place from 8-14 July next year.
There are hopes the squad can get in a number of matches earlier in the new year as part of preparations.
