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 English team had to play without John Lowe, the number one in the World Rankings, he was on a cruise with the SS Canberra. Lowe tried to get back in time but could not get a flight home in time and then decided to continue his vacation.

The English squad dominated in the team tournament. They really waltzed over the opponents and beat Belgium 9-0, Northern Ireland 9-5 and 9-2 against Sweden in the semi-finals. Wales won 9-5 against Scotland in the other semi-final.

The English quartet Eric Bristow, Bobby George, Cliff Lazarenko & Dave Whitcombe then trounced the foursome Dyfri Jones, Peter Locke, Ceri Morgan & Tony Ridler from Wales in the final 9-1. With that, England took the team tournament for the second time in a row.
