THERE is more joy for Shetland at the Island Games tonight (Tuesday) as long-distance runner Seumas MacKay has achieved a silver in the men’s 1,500m.

He completed the distance in 3:53.79.

The athlete is the first man to win a medal at this year’s games for Shetland, and has scooped the first silver for the isles.

MacKay previously won gold in the 800m race in Gibraltar back in 2019.
