DARTS - Winners crowned at Colin Perry Cup and Alice Coghill Trophy competitions

Although the youthful side of the Wick and District Darts league got every chance to shine in the Colin Perry Cup, it was one of the stalwarts in the competition who got his hands on the silverware and lifted the trophy when the final dart had been thrown.

School janitor Sandy Mackay, representing the Norseman, went all the way in the competition alongside partner Richie Taylor from Harpers B.

The unsuccessful finalists were Jordan Oag and young Ryan Campbell, still only 16 years old, from Smiddy Two.

They narrowly lost out in a close encounter, but can be proud of their efforts in getting so far in the tournament.

The losing semi finalists were Aiden Sutherland and Graeme Sutherland, who were further examples of the young talent on show.

Graeme is 23, while Aiden is even younger at 21 years old.

Youth has also been catching the eye in the women’s teams, with Kara Sutherland making the seamless transition from junior to senior darts at 21.

However, despite regularly impressing in league action she was not able to lift the Alice Coghill trophy. Instead, it was Alison Tait who earned the crown, taking out 59 in two darts to win the final.

Things could very easily have been different after Sutherland missed 10 attempts at the double, but it was her Seaforth teammate who was left celebrating.

Sutherland did hit another 180 to keep pace with the men in the maximums table, hitting her fourth of the season on the night – Aiden Sutherland and Ryan Campbell.

Sandy Mackay had the only two 100+ finishes on the night with checkouts of 101 and 100.
