The Isle of Man has confirmed it's selections for who will represent the Island in archery at this year's Island Games.

The recurve team will consists of Barbara Harris, Danny Cowin, Alex Allen-Snell and newcomer, James Hill.

Meanwhile, making up the compound squad will be the experienced figures of Joy Gough, Aalin George, Dave Moore, Ethan Moore and Rhys Moore.

The team will be lead by manager, Alison Cowin, who's spearheaded the Island's archery teams since the games in Aland in 2009.

Cowin will be assisted by former Island Games competitor, Peter Mumford, who will act as assistant team manager and coach to the players.
