Football season gets underway this weekend

The Isle of Man FA has wished clubs good luck as the new football season gets underway this weekend.

On Facebook, the FA says the majority of the Island's clubs are entering both First and Combination teams this season.

It says the Ardern and Druggan Division Two has less teams this year, and it's talking to the league's management to avoid losing fixtures.

And it's thanked all volunteers including coaches, groundspeople and club staff who worked through the summer to prepare for the start of the season.
