Team manager Stewart Tosh arrived at the athletes’ village on Wednesday.

“I’m very pleased to say that we’re at a stage where we can recommend to the team that the accommodation is suitable and look forward to them travelling out here.”
Mr Tosh said the athlete’s village itself was a “very welcoming place”.
“There are a lot of facilities here; there are a lot of things the athletes will be able to enjoy when they are here,” he said.
