The Isle of Man Football squad will be staying together in a hotel tonight ahead of tomorrow afternoon's National League Systems Cup semi-final against Midland Combination at The Bowl.
It's a deliberate move to recreate the feeling of an away fixture, as this is the first home game for the Manx side in over three years.
Manager Kevin Manning is expecting a tough encounter, and with all league matches postponed, is appealing for a big turn-out of supporters:-
Football: Plans to launch new walking football league
FA looking for teams and players to get involved
Hockey: 2026 cup finals weekend getting underway tonight
Six trophies up for grabs across two days at NSC
Rugby: Three Island sides involved in season finales this weekend

Elsewhere, Foxdale could be relegated from premier league on Saturday
