                                                                    RIP Colin McClements                                                 

Today Scotland has received the sad news that our friend and colleague Colin McClements has passed away. Colin was a truly lovely person, he was an integral and irreplaceable part of Scottish Darts, one of the unsung heroes of our Association, who behind the scenes set up the venues with our small group, was available for all the jobs that needed to be done during the duration of the events.
All this apart Willie, John, myself, and the other officials had so much fun and banter with Colin in the days of event preparation and shared lots of evenings together at the bar after the day's work had finished, sharing darts and family stories, just so much fun.

And on behalf of Scottish Darts, we would like to send our condolences to the family of Colin McClements.

Cliff Murray
General Secretary Scottish Darts.

The Scottish Darts Association (SDA) are delighted to announce they have agreed a long-term sponsorship deal with Darts Corner; the world’s number one online retailer for darts products.

SDA Chairman, John Smith, explains “It’s really key to the success of the SDA that we have a headline sponsor that we can work with closely and grow grass-root darts throughout Scotland.

Darts Corner have committed to a mixture of support, help and advice which will help us achieve our goals and ensure an exciting future for Scottish Darts. Our partnership with Darts Corner will assist the development of Scottish Youth darts and both Scottish County and Scottish International Darts.

Hopefully soon we will all be back playing darts together, and after such a long break I’m sure that all the players competing in Scotland will be thankful for this sponsorship.  We’re eager to see what we will be able to achieve for the players in the next few years, and we look forward to working with all the Darts Corner Team.”

Darts Corner CEO, Wayne Taylor, adds “At Darts Corner we are incredibly passionate about every aspect of darts. I strongly believe in growing this fantastic sport at every level of the game in every way possible. After the challenges of the past year, it seemed the perfect time to give something back to the darts community and demonstrate our support and thanks to all the Scottish darts enthusiasts that have supported Darts Corner over the last 15 years.

With many options open to them, I am thrilled that the SDA have chosen to partner with Darts Corner.  I believe that we will work together to grow the game that we all love, and I look forward to pursuing the new opportunities that this presents for us all.”

Due to the ongoing situation of Covid-19, the Six Nations Committee has decided to postpone the Six Nations Cup 2021 event which was scheduled to be hosted by the Scottish Darts Association at the Normandy Hotel, Inchinnan Road, Renfrew, Scotland from 17th to 20th June 2021.

The Scottish Darts Association will now host the event at the same venue from 16th to 19th June 2022.

In view of the current Scottish Government restrictions, brought on by the battle against Covid 19, the Scottish Darts Association have reluctantly decided to cancel the Scottish Open due to be held at the Normandy Hotel, Renfrew in 2021.

The event will return bigger and better than ever in February 2022 when it is hoped that some sort of normality will have returned to our daily lives and the sport we all love.  The Scottish Open has always proved to be one of the most popular in the darts calendar and the Directors hope that this postponement will in no way dampen the players enthusiasm to return in 2022.

Everyone at the SDA wish darts players and families round the world all the best as they cope with the pandemic restrictions and that they all stay safe from the virus.
