Special Olympians head to Gibraltar

A SQUAD of Isle of Man Special Olympic athletes will be leaving the Island, tomorrow, Tuesday, to travel to Gibraltar where they will compete in the Gibraltar National Games.
A total of 20, all with learning disabilities, have been selected to compete in athletics, football and swimming events against strong Gibraltarian sides. Six swimmers will be going with coach Barry Dulson, six athletes with coach Graham Davies and eight footballers with their newly appointed coach David Hattersley.
Gibraltar has a very popular Special Olympic organisation which has been in existence for many years and holds a national tournament on the Rock every year.
Other teams attend by invitation only and these are usually from the surrounding regions in Spain, but links with the Isle of Man led to an invitation to send a football team over in 2007 and the success of that trip led in turn to the enlarged squad being invited this year.
Head of the Manx delegation Beryl Wooldridge said: 'It is a great honour for us to be asked to participate in the games in Gibraltar and is testament to the high regard in which the Isle of Man Special Olympic team is held internationally.
'We are looking forward to a successful trip which will not only provide good competition for our sportsmen and women but also be an opportunity to send some new and younger athletes away which will be a great all round experience for them.'
This is a short trip with the team returning to the Island on Saturday but will no doubt be exhausting for the athletes concerned who will be involved in competitions each day in the Mediterranean heat followed by an extensive programme of local activities and hospitality.
