Publicity officer says team has been improving year on year
The Isle of Man Basketball Association's publicity officer believes the Manx team will provide a tough challenge for some more established sides at the Island Games.
With the club season coming to an end last week, the national side is already in training for this summer's competition in Gibraltar.
Two years ago in Gotland, the Manx team lost all three group games, but did go on to beat the Faroe Islands in a game to decide ninth place.
Martin Dunne hopes the Isle of Man team can cause an upset this time around:
