FOI reveals nearly £350,000 spent on sports funding

The Department of Education, Sport and Culture says it's spent almost £349,000 on five sports over the last three years.

A Freedom of Information request asked for the amount of money given in grants and other support for football, cricket, netball, hockey and rugby.

In its response, the department said the Manx Rugby Football Union had been given just under £27,000 while the hockey association got almost £62,000.

The Island's FA received more than £75,000, while netball got £84,000 - with the Isle of Man Cricket Association topping the table with more than £100,000.
