Claire Battye, Isle of Man Netball development officer, explained: ‘Our men’s team attended the nationals last year, gaining invaluable experience.
‘They continue to grow in confidence and skill both individually and as a team, the opportunity to play within our local league is really paying off.
‘This will be our first outing with a mixed squad, it’s a strong squad and to compete in UK Nationals is a fantastic opportunity; congratulations to everyone selected.’
Games will be live streamed and the links will be shared on Isle of Man Netball’s social channels nearer the event.
