Community Games 2019
The Community Games took place on Wednesday 19th June where secondary school pupils from across the Isle of Man who aren't involved in a school, club or island team are invited to the NSC to experience a variety of different sports and physical activities. The IOMCA had arranged for the Cricket Factory rig, banner zone and core skills equipment to be at this years Community Games. The Cricket Factory allows participants of all ages and abilities to perform a variety of cricket activities in different ways. With the IOMCA's focus on developing women and girl's cricket in 2019 over 100 girls experienced cricket in a fun and unique way (some for the first time). Each participant then received a free Cric Start bat and ball set. Hopefully these girls will go on to join the regionalised girl's training and women and girl's soft ball festivals.
The IOMCA will be using the newly purchased banner zone and core skills equipment across the Isle of Man to promote the game.

Manx Youth Games 2019
The 2019 Manx Youth Games was held at Cronkbourne Cricket Club on Saturday 18th May.
After the opening ceremony at the National Sports Centre all the cricketers were bused to Cronkbourne Cricket Club. In the first round of games there was a first (as far as I am aware) in Manx Youth Game's cricketing history with the North girls playing Douglas North Girls (and two boys). Each team played two games before everyone had tea. After burgers, cakes and juice each team played their third game.
Once all three games were played Andy Coulson (IOMCA Secretary) did a speech to players, coaches and parents and then Jaime Amoedo (HSBC representative) presented the water bottles and medals and Matthew Ansell (National team captain) presented the Cric start bat and ball sets provided by the IOMCA to each of the participants.
The 2019 Manx Youth Games was a record breaking year with 10 teams including two girl's teams. A huge thanks to all the coaches and their helpers, Cronkbourne CC for hosting so well, Manx Sport and Recreation and HSBC for their continued support
