With just under a week to go until the HSBC Manx Youth Games a leading fitness expert has stressed the importance of children pursuing healthy lifestyles.
Paul Bridson is the sports development officer for Manx Sport and Recreation and say there are more imperatives behind the youth games than just a fun day out.

Paul says they’re striving to get as many young people as possible involved in sport:
