Hopes to still take relatively large squad to Glasgow next summer
Team Isle of Man says it's positive to see the Isle of Man will still have a relatively large team heading to the scaled-down Commonwealth Games next summer.
In a change from previous events, the new-look games taking place in Glasgow in 2026 will feature ten sports, down from the 19 seen in Birmingham back in 2022.
Despite this, the Isle of Man Commonwealth Games Association (IOMCGA) is anticipating the total amount of contenders they can take could be 'in the mid-20's'.
Although an exact squad size isn't confirmed yet, Team Isle of Man Chef du Mission, Erica Bellhouse believes next summer will provide important opportunities for a good amount of local competitors:
FC Isle of Man face Cheadle Town in quest to bounce back
Hockey: Ladies Premier League title could be decided this weekend
Rugby: Douglas and Widnes to meet in battle for play-offs
Football: Premier league top two to meet in FA Cup semi-finals
Athletics: Record pre-entries for 2026 Easter Festival
