After two editions in Turkey, the European Cup will stay in Eastern Europe for 2014. Again, a young organization gets the responsibility for the nineteenth WDF Europe Cup; Romania. From 23 to 27 September, the Intercontinental Hotel in Bucharest is the royal setting for this Cup.
For the first time there are four ladies per team, until 2014 there were always two. This means that an extra day of play is added to the schedule. From now on, the teams will play over four days and the opening ceremony is the day before. Men from 30 countries come to the Romanian capital and 25 countries also bring their ladies. It was a very cosy and friendly European Cup. No debutants at this Cup, but Cyprus does return for the first time since 2000.
Glen Durrant, Scott Mitchell, Scott Waites & James Wilson from England are overall the best in 2014. With 131 points they take the gold and are well ahead of Wales, which finish on 67 points. The bronze goes to Ireland, in addition to the gold in the singles of course with 58 points. Northern Ireland comes in fourth with 50 points, one point more than the Netherlands.
