IOM to host 2029 Island games?

Could the Isle of Man host the 2029 Island games?

It come as the Island has submitted an official bid to do so.

Known as the 'Olympics for Islanders,' the games bring together thousands of athletes from around the world to compete in over a dozen sports.

If the Isle of Man is successful, it will be its third time hosting the event, having held the first ever Games in 1985 and another in 2001.

It's estimated the 2029 event could attract around 4,000 people to Manx shores and provide a £3.5m boost to the economy.

A decision will be announced next year following an inspection of the local venues and infrastructure.
