WDF Europe Cup Men Overall 1996

The anniversary edition of the WDF Europe Cup was held at the Astoria Convention Centre in Bundoran, Ireland from October 9-13. For the tenth edition of this tournament, no less than a record number of 24 countries travelled to Ireland. Austria, Spain, Hungary and the Isle of Man are the newcomers. With 20 countries, a record was also set for the ladies. Yet a lot stayed as it’s always been, because England once again dominated.

Like a year earlier during the World Cup in Basel, Switzerland England won all the men’s titles with the same team of Martin Adams, Andy Fordham, Ronnie Baxter and Steve Beaton. It was England’s tenth consecutive overall WDF Europe Cup title with 189 points. In addition, Martin Adams, after John Lowe in 1986 and Phil Taylor in 1990, becomes the third player to claim all four gold medals in one WDF Europe Cup. The Netherlands reached the overall podium for the first time with a second place on 115 points. Northern Ireland picked up the bronze with 65 points. Wales finished fourth with 56 points and Scotland fifth with 45 points.
