FC Isle of Man could reignite their competition with Guernsey FC later this year.

The Manx club says the Skipton Cup - which sees both sides take each other on home and away in an annual contest - is planned to return for 2021.

Currently, it's planned 'The Raven's will take on Guernsey on July 17 at The Bowl in Douglas before then travelling to the Footes Lane stadium on July 31.

Last year saw both sides take each other on twice whilst a travel corridor was open between the two Islands - the air bridge between the two nations is currently closed.
