The stage boards used by the Tay Valley County Darts team at their home venue, the Black Watch Club in the heart of Dundee, were in need of a lick of paint ahead of the new season and there was only one paint brand they would turn to. Leyland’s sponsorship of leading darts players, Simon ‘The Wizard’ Whitlock and Mark ‘Spider’ Webster, has significantly boosted the profile of the popular brand and ensured its name is now synonymous with the sport.

It was a labour of love for the team committee, who took on the task of repainting the boards themselves, but were ably supported by a selection of products designed to make the job as easy as possible.
The team used Leyland’s Acrylic Primer Undercoat, which benefits from quick drying and low odour properties, to treat the boards before applying Leyland Trade Vinyl Matt in both red and black to give them a smooth, yet durable finish.

Tay Valley Darts vice-president Clive Duncan said: “Being avid followers of darts, it’s been impossible to ignore the presence of Leyland over the past 12 months, so there was only one place to turn to when we wanted to give our stage a new lease of life ahead of the new season. We are all delighted with how the boards have turned out and look forward to seeing them take centre stage over the course of the season.”
