From 6 to 9 August 1998, 26 countries played in Oslo in Norway during the eleventh edition of the WDF Europe Cup darts. The big question was of course whether the England men, this time with Martin Adams, Andy Fordham, Ronnie Baxter and Steve Beaton, would take home the overall title for the eleventh consecutive time. The England ladies Mandy Solomons and Trina Gulliver could win the overall Cup for the seventh time in the last eight editions. For the first time in the history of the WDF Europe Cup, two brothers play in one cup; Brian and John Elder from Ballymena play for Northern Ireland. The Faroe Islands and Iceland make their debut at a WDF Europe Cup here in Norway.

In the singles event, both English ladies reached the semi-finals. Trina Gulliver makes her England debut at a WDF Europe Cup and beats Annette Hakonsen 4-0 in the quarterfinals. Mandy Solomons wins in a deciding leg against Finalnd’s Tarja Salminen. In the quarterfinals, the Dutch participation in the singles tournament comes to an end. Mieke de Boer loses 2-4 to Northern Ireland’s Denise Cassidy and Valery Maytum 0-4 to Mette Hansen from Norway.

In the semi-finals, Trina Gulliver loses 4-3 to the Denise Cassidy. In the other semi-final, her compatriot Mandy Solomons wins 4-2 in a very good match against Norwegian Mette Hansen. The final became a nail biter which is surprisingly won 4-3 by Denise Cassidy, who claimed Northern Ireland’s first-ever WDF Europe Cup title.
