On Saturday the team travelled to Manchester to play a tough fixture against Trafford FC Youth. Aaron Vincent managed to get onto the scoresheet for the Isle of Man.

The trip was topped off with a fantastic performance by the Isle of Man against the EFL League Two outfit with great goalkeeping displays from both Aiden Pickering and Oli Burden and goals from Noah Campbell, Alfie Price, Liam Blake and Ollie Eyres. 

The Isle of Man FA would like to thank GT7 Academy, Trafford FC Youth and Carlisle United FC for providing such fantastic hospitality to the team and coaches during the visit.
