The island’s athletics team has been dealt a blow ahead of the Island Games in Orkney with the withdrawal of top sprinter Lydia Morris.
Lydia, who has withdrawn due to injury, was set to compete in the individual 200 metres.
Her absence also leaves a considerable gap in both of the women’s relay teams.
Morris Withdraws
Lydia said: “I’ll be pulling out of this year’s island Games in Orkney and the rest of the 2025 season.
“I’m absolutely gutted and disappointed that I won’t be competing, but to progress and become the best athlete I can be, this setback has to come first.
“My focus now is on recovery-getting stronger, quicker and even more determined.”
