The Falklands team at the Island Games may not be in the medals but they are proving outstanding sports men, women and youngsters, and projecting a favourable image of their country.
Speaking from the Isle of Man, where he is supporting his sporting compatriots at the international Island Games, Falkland Councillor Mike Summers said that although the team has so far won no medals and has suffered at least one humiliating defeat (losing at 9-0 to the Jersey football team), the games have been a great success.
