Both of Ynys Môn's football teams have secured their places in next year's Island Games in Orkney.

The preliminary draw for both the men's and women's tournaments was held online by the hosts on Wednesday night.

Due to the very limited accommodation locally, both tournaments are restricted to just twelve teams each.

Orkney were already assured of a place in both competitions, along with the reigning champions - Jersey's men and Bermuda's women - along with the Alderney and Hitra men who missed in the random draw for last year's event in Guernsey.

The men's tournament will see Ynys Môn - who finished runners-up last year - compete alongside teams from Orkney, Hitra, Jersey, Bermuda, Frøya, Gozo, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Menorca, the Shetland Islands and Western Isles.

In the women's competition, Ynys Môn's possible opponents will include Orkney, Bermuda, Frøya, Gozo, Guernsey, Hitra, the Isle of Wight, Jersey, Menorca, the Shetland Islands and the Western Isles.

The draw for the group stages of both competitions will take place at the end of September.
