Work has started to send the Isle of Man squad to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

 

The Commonwealth Games Association has started fund raising so they can send the 32 athletes to the Golden Coast in Australia. 

 

According to the CWG President Juliet Holt they need to raise in the region of £100,000 to send the full squad.
