The seventh edition of the WDF Europe Cup was held from 8 to 10 November at the Corradino Sports Pavilion in Malta. Seventeen countries took part which was a new record. The big question was of course who could keep the favourite English teams of the WDF Europe Cup titles. Greece is participating in a WDF Europe Cup for the first time.
In the pairs tournament the English pairs dominated as well. The duo Phil Taylor & Bob Anderson won in the semi-final against the Danish duo Jann Hoffmann & Troels Rusel. In the other semi-final, the other English couple John Lowe & Eric Bristow beat the Scottish duo Ronnie Sharp & Bob Taylor.
In the final, Phil Taylor & Bob Anderson are slightly stronger than John Lowe & Eric Bristow and beat them 4-2. The beginning of a new decade also seems to end the dominance of the two best players of the 1980s; John Lowe & Eric Bristow. The pairs title returns to England. In total, England has now won this title four times.
