26th in the world!
We're proud to say that our national netball side - the Isle of Man "Manx Rams" are ranked 26th in the world netball rankings!
To think that it was as recently as 2017 that we first applied to the International Netball Federation (INF) to become a national governing body. We're proud of how far we've come in such a short space of time and there's plenty more to come!
Ashley Hall, Captain of the Manx Rams:
"The Manx Rams and I are proud of how we stepped onto the international scene. We won the Open Challenge only one year after affiliating to Netball Europe, and we were expecting to enter the World Rankings in the low 30's, so were blown away with 21st. We are excited to see how we match up to world nations moving forward, and the ultimate dream is to qualify for the World Cup."
