IoM face Hitra in first game
The Isle of Man FA's senior men's side get their Inter-Island Games football tournament campaign underway today.
They'll face Norwegian island Hitra at 6.30pm this evening in Llangefni.
Due to football not being one of the sports involved in this year's Island Games in Gibraltar, the competition in Ynys Mon is acting as its replacement.
Manager Paul Jones told Manx Radio Sport his players must remain focused to avoid defeat in their opening match:
