The women's game must be included in the debate about funding for Manx rugby teams competing in the United Kingdom.
That was the view expressed by Vagabonds Ladies team coach Darrin Cook, on Manx Radio's Friday Sport programme.
Last weekend, the English RFU told Douglas, Ramsey and Vagabonds that funding for competing in the South Lancashire and Cheshire League was to be drastically cut.
The Manx sides have until the end of March to prepare a case and Darrin says the Vagas girls need to be part of the overall message put to officials at Twickenham:
FC Isle of Man face final away trip of season at Irlam
Payne & Rousseau prepare for world championship opener
Football: Ramsey beat Braddan to maintain combi one control
Cycling: Storrie sidelined for 'some weeks' with injury
Cricket: Hopes new series will boost women & girls game
Ongoing 2026 games uncertainty 'disconcerting'
