Ensure you follow Cymru Sport on their channels to get their coverage. Website, Twitter, Facebook .
MerseaToJersey
Our most committed supporters will be back once again to follow our team. Back in 2015, three brothers and a bloke called Dave decided to head to the Island Games from an island called Mersea Island in Essex. They wanted to watch some sport, enjoy the local sights and have a few beers. They wanted to add their support to one of the 24 islands and picked Ynys Mon as their team to support. It was an amazing week, with their vocal and colourful support adding to the occasion. Ever since then, they’ve been to all of the Island Games and now are firmly part of our family. They’ll be putting their own twist on the action at Orkney 2025, including appearances from the team mascot, Freebie Mon, the stuffed red dragon. MerseaToJersey can be followed on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as their blog.
