At the third WDF Europe Cup darts we see next to the men also for the first time the ladies compete at the WDF Europe Cup. They get their own competitions separately. Where the men play with four players, the ladies play with two. As a result, there are three titles up for grabs among the ladies. Singles, pairs and the overall title.
Twelve countries will compete on October 15 and 16 at the Cliffs Pavilion at Westcliff on Sea in England in the third WDF Europe Cup darts for the men. Norway makes its debut and France does not bring a women's team, so that eleven countries compete in the first WDF Europe Cup for the ladies.
The overall standings were clearly won by England with Eric Bristow, Bobby George, Cliff Lazarenko & Dave Whitcombe with 112 points. Not surprising, of course, with four players in the semi-finals of the singles and the gold in the team tournament. As in 1980, Sweden came in second with 67 points, again thanks to the pairs title of Stefan Lord & Björn Enqvist. Scotland takes the bronze with 47 points. Wales with 32 points and Ireland with 25 sit off the podium.
