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 2004 the ladies tournament is decided between two countries. The Netherlands and England dominate all the tournaments. In the singles both big favourites for the title will face each other in the final. Francis Hoenselaar from the Netherlands has few problems with Hege Lokken from Norway, Maud Jansson from Sweden, Marika Juhola from Finland and in the semi-final against Maureen Kelly from Ireland. She only loses two legs in all of those games. Trina Gulliver also qualifies for the final, although she has a bit more difficulty in reaching it. She loses two legs against Tarja Salminen from Finland. Against Louise Hepburn from Scotland and in the semi-final against Heike Ernst from Germany she loses no legs.
The final is a true spectacle in which Francis Hoenselaar and Trina Gulliver make it very exciting. It is the "Dutch Crown" that eventually manages to beat "The Golden Girl" in a seventh leg and claims the singles title for herself. It is the second time that Francis Hoenselaar takes this WDF Europe Cup singles title after 1996.
