Manx on the podium on opening day of Games
The Isle of Man is lying second in the medal table in Jersey as the Natwest Island Games continues today (Monday).
With two golds, six silvers and three bronze medals, the Manx team began the day just below the host nation.
Today, there’s action in athletics, badminton, basketball and football where the Island’s men face Alderney and the women take on Gibraltar.
One of yesterday’s first successes was for Elizabeth Holden in the women’s cycling Time Trial, where she claimed silver.
She told Tim Glover she'd fought hard:

Cricket: IoM men finish fifth at T20 World Cup qualifiers
Cycling: Bostock bound for 2026 Tour of Britain
Football: 2026/27 Manx season to begin this weekend
