The shinty world was saddened to hear of the passing of David Cheyne, Newtonmore on Wednesday 23 May 2018.
David made a huge contribution to shinty in Newtonmore, first as a decorated player during the club’s hugely successful period in the 1970s, winning seven Camanachd Cup medals. He then went on to serve the club in a variety of roles including manager. He was elected Newtonmore Camanachd Club Chieftain in 2006.
Sympathies go out to his widow Ellen, children Barry, Evan and Dawn and their respective families.
David’s funeral takes place at the Eilan Newtonmore at noon on Friday 1 June 2018 with the internment at Banchor Cemetery thereafter.
