It is with great sadness that Andover Invitation Darts report the recent and sudden death of New Streets Micky Collins.
Micky had been a great friend of Andover darts for over a quarter of a century going back to the successful Meadow Club era and his smiling face and chirpy personality will be sorely missed. The ‘diminutive dartsman’ was a quality player and the trophies that he won although numerous were still outweighed by countless friendships he made in darts. Andover Invitation Darts will announce details of The Micky Collins Memorial Classic Ranking competition in the near future. |
