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 to host play-off contenders Irlam
Hockey: Hopes more will take up 'important' non-playing roles in sport
Rugby: Table-topping Douglas head to West Park
Football: 2025 Railway Cup semi-finals await
Hockey: Dunn and England victorious against South Africa
