There's a real mix when it comes to the Isle of Man's Island Games sailing team in 2025.

Of the four representing the Isle of Man there will be three new faces hoping to make an impression in Orkney.

One of those is 20-year-old Teddy Dunn who recently sat down with Manx Radio to discuss the prospect of making his maiden games appearance and what he makes of the chances all of the Manx squad have this year:

In tonight's programme:

• In a weekend of double-headers, in football FC Isle of Man are preparing for the first of two pre-season games in less than 24 hours on Island tonight
• The record-breaking racing may have come to a close at the Southern 100 this week, but solo and sidecar action will continue this weekend in the north of the Island
• And with less than 24 hours to go until the 2025 Island Games officially begin, we're hearing from a few more of the Isle of Man teams flying the Manx flag: the women's football team along with the badminton and sailing squads

Featured this week are Paul Jones, Lee Bartram, Becky Corkish, Wayne Lisy, Matthew Nicholson and Teddy Dunn

Bracing themselves for a busy Island Games schedule this year in Orkney will be the Isle of Man's badminton squad.

Looking to build on three medals at the last games two years ago, it's expected to be long days out on court for the team, singles and doubles events for the ten-strong Isle of Man lineup.

One of the who appeared and was among the medals last time out was Matthew Nicholson, one of those ten which will feature a mix of experience and games debutants in 2025.

Mr Nicholson's been telling Manx Radio how its been getting ready for the hectic yet rewarding experience of the event:

They were bronze medallists at the previous Island Games two years ago, and now the Isle of Man women's football side are targeting more at this year's event in Orkney.

Having initially only been a reserve in the football draw in September 2024, the squad was dramatically instated into the event a few months later in December last year following the withdrawal of Guernsey.

It's been a tight turnaround then for the team but that's not hindered preparations in the eyes of Isle of Man women's team captain, Becky Corkish and manager, Wayne Lisy.

They caught up with Manx Radio recently to tell us about their high ambitions in 2025:

The Isle of Man has a long-standing and stellar reputation in the sport of cycling and it's a tradition it'll be hoping to keep up at the 2025 Island Games in Orkney.

The Isle of Man cycling team claimed six medals in Guernsey two years ago and they're set to mount an assault once again on both the road and mountain bike events.

Rob Sorby is the team's manager and was part of the setup at the previous games.

He's been telling us about their preparations and ambitions for this year:

With 15 medals at the last Island Games in Guernsey, it's perhaps no surprise the Isle of Man swimming team is in high spirits going into the latest games in Orkney this year.

The number 15 is prominent again this time around - that's the number of swimmers who'll fly the Manx flag this month.

At the heart of the team once more will be team manager, Erica Bellhouse and national team coach, Lee Holland.

Manx Radio's been speaking with them both to get their thoughts on the campaign ahead:

In tonight's programme:

• Tonight (4 July) sees a meeting of some of the biggest football talent on Island as the Isle of Man men's national side and FC Isle of Man face off in a friendly under the floodlights at The Bowl
• For the first time ever, the World Downhill Skateboarding Championship is visiting the Island, we hear from the event's Director of Racing
• And we're continuing our countdown to the 2025 Island Games - we'll find out how preparations are going for the Isle of Man's golf team
• And also - after a great medal haul at the games last time out - the Manx swimming squad tells us about their hopes for Orkney this month

This week featuring Chris Bass, Paul Jones, Will Stephenson, Gary Ashe, Erica Bellhouse and Lee Holland

Golf is a sport in which the Isle of Man has enjoyed a good deal of success in at the Island Games previously, and there's hopes that the Manx squad can relive that feeling again in 2025.

Eight players have been selected for the Isle of Man's golf team heading to Orkney this month.

And spearheading their campaign as team manager is Gary Ashe

In this extended interview, he sat down with Manx Radio at Douglas Golf Club recently to explain how much he and the team is relishing this latest challenge.
