There is good bright coverage of the Commonwealth Youth Games is available on the excellent manxharriers.com site which is edited and produced by Paul Jackson. It includes features on the Manx athletes by the hard working David Griffiths (I think publicity doubles our enjoyment of the sport). So I shall leave it their safe hands and not compete head on with their coverage save for the odd picture to highlight it.
Very best of luck to Tom and Gemma.
Andrew Duncan is reporting the games for the Manx media and has promised to report on the athletes performances in addition to reporting for Manx Radio, Isle of Man Newspapers and the the Commonwealth Games website. He may also make some films for YouTube.
I mentioned the other day that just about all the winter events are about to kick off and I have tonight added a feature on the very popular hill racing series which this year is sponsored by the Isle of Man Bank.
A lot of people would like to try an event but are put off because they think they are not good enough. Don't be. All the members of the Manx Fell Runners Club will make you welcome (most of them take part themselves) and if you follow the links for help they will provide it. You can use the hill running series as a stepping stone to running in the 2009 Rentokil Manx Fell League or you can merely make the series the summit of your achievements.
I had the audacity to spend a little bit of time with my family tonight so that is all you are getting. If you are one of the many people awaiting a reply to an email (I still have a couple of hundred!), you'll have to wait a bit longer.
Please use the forum as much as possible.
