Darts star Sandy checks out

THE Inverness darts scene lost one of its most popular and successful players when Sandy Mackay died in the Highland Hospice last month at the age of 56.

Sandy had played for a number of teams in Inverness over the years, but most recently had been a favourite at the Portland.

Though he had been ill for some time, he had continue to play until fairly recently.

One of the highlights in Sandy’s long darts career was winning the Inverness Doubles in 1971 and also winning the Individual Championship for the best single player in all leagues.
