The team boasts a blend of experience and youthful enthusiasm, promising a strong showing. Darren Masterton, the team manager and a veteran of the competition, expressed confidence in the squad's potential ahead of the games, which start on Saturday (June 12).

Advertisement However, she remains confident in the team's ability to adapt. Lucy, 30, of Newport, said: "Really excited about the challenge ahead, but conditions will be a bit testing in Orkney. "It'll be cold, wet, and windy, compared to the dry conditions here at the moment. "On the Isle of Wight, you get used to the wind and the rain anyway, so I'd say we're all pretty good at most weather conditions. "Our ladies team is probably the strongest we've had in a few years, and I think we have a very good chance of a medal."

Advertisement Having won a team silver medal at the Gotland Games in 2017, she is confident of adding to her medal tally. Sammi said: "The course is going to be challenging, but I think with my experience playing in Freshwater, in the wind and rain, I'm hoping it'll be a bit of an advantage." In the men's team, George Foreman, the 2022 Island champion, returns to compete after having managed the team for the past few Games. He is eager to add to his team silver medal from 2011. Conner Knight, the Isle of Wight scratch match play champion, is set to make his debut at the Island Games. He is keen to make a significant impact both individually and as part of the team. Advertisement Chris Hayward, the current Island champion, is returning for his second games and is aiming for a top ten finish, with the hope of delivering some exceptional golf. Lastly, Nat Riddett will be participating in his third Island Games. Having finished in the top 13 in his previous games, he is determined to break into the top ten and possibly compete for a medal.

Pupils showered in powder paint at end-of-year celebration
Pupils were showered in powder paint as part of a colourful end-of-year celebration. More than 300 Year 6 pupils took part in a colour dash at Marl Pits rugby pitch in Rawtenstall. The event, organised by the Rossendale School Sports Partnership, was one of the final opportunities for Year 6 pupils to represent their schools before moving on to secondary school. The colour dash marked the final opportunity for students to represent their schools (Image: Catherine Smyth Media) The event included two sessions, with Year 7 students from Haslingden High School, The Valley Leadership Academy, and Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School also joining in the festivities. Excitement filled the air as pupils gathered in a taped-off section of the field. After a countdown from 10, the bags were launched into the air, filling the sky with colour before raining down on pupils and staff. Powdered paint being thrown into the air (Image: Catherine Smyth Media) Pupils were then grouped together and set off around the pitch, running past paint stations manned by sports leaders from The Valley Leadership Academy. Charlie Howorth, a volunteer from St Anne's Church of England Primary School, said: "I ran round and it was fun, some of the paint went into my ear but everyone enjoyed themselves." For many, it was their first time taking part in a colour dash. Mia, a Year 6 pupil from Britannia Primary School, said: "It was very fun and exhilarating. "I have never done a colour dash before." In the afternoon session, with a few paint sachets remaining, grandma Linda Thompson and mum Lindsey Johnson joined the fun, covering each other in pink paint. Pupils enjoying the colour dash (Image: Catherine Smyth Media) Ms Thompson said: "This has been absolutely brilliant and a great release for all the children after everything they have been through this year. "As a grandparent – I love it." For some pupils, it was a day to remember in more ways than one. Cali, a student from St Paul's Constablelee, said: "Today has been amazing, I got paint thrown over me many times. "This is my school PE T-shirt and I am not going to need it again so I am not washing it, I am going to display it."
