In 2004, the WDF Europe Cup returns to Finland for the third time. After Turku in 1986 and Kerava in 1992, Tampere is now the place of action. The fourteenth edition of the WDF Europe Cup was held at the Scandic Hotel Rosendahl from 13 to 16 October. With 21 participating countries for men and 20 for women, it can safely be called a successful edition. Estonia makes its debut at this tournament.

In the 2004 pairs tournament, there are not many big surprises in the group stage England with Clare Bywaters & Trina Gulliver remain unbeaten in the group, just like Francis Hoenselaar & Karin Krappen for the Netherlands. Denise Cassidy & Grace Crane also remain without defeat for Northern Ireland. In the quarterfinals, the Netherlands simply wins against Denmark and England against Ireland. Northern Ireland has a lot more problems with Italy but wins 4-3. The last semi-finalists are from Wales, they beat Sweden with 4-2.

Francis Hoenselaar & Karin Krappen also have little trouble in the semi-finals. Denise Cassidy & Grace Crane from Northern Ireland are beaten 4-1. Still, England is doing slightly better with Clare Bywaters & Trina Gulliver, they beat Jan Robbins & Chris Savvery from Wales 4-0.

And so, both big favourites face each other in the final. Francis Hoenselaar & Karin Krappen on behalf of the Netherlands and Clare Bywaters & Trina Gulliver on behalf of England. If Hoenselaar and Krappen manage to win the pairs tournament for the third consecutive time, they will also win the overall ranking for the third consecutive time. Unfortunately for the Netherlands, the English ladies have different ideas. Bywaters & Gulliver take the title in the pairs and overall with a 4-2 win.

It is the seventh time that the gold in the pairs goes to England, for Gulliver it is the second time and for Bywaters the first time. It is the third time that Denise Cassidy & Grace Crane have won a medal for Northern Ireland, but gold is not yet won.
