WDF Europe Cup Women Singles 2010

Turkey is one of the new and ambitious members of the World Darts Federation. Participant since 2006 and already in 2010 they are allowed to organize the seventeenth edition of the WDF Europe Cup. From 13 to 16 October, the Grand Haber Hotel in Kemer is the setting for a fantastic, sunny, European Cup. All records in terms of number of participating countries are broken. In the men, 28 countries participate and in the ladies 27. New countries such as Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia, but also countries that are back after a short absence such as Estonia and Greece.

Only England still has both ladies in the bracket in the quarterfinals. Trina Gulliver wins against Northern Ireland's Nicole Dillon. Her teammate Lisa Ashton beats Swedish ace Anna Forsmark. Julie Gore from Wales plays a strong tournament, easily beating the dangerous Finnish outsider Kirsi Viinkainen. The last semi-finalist is the Dutch Francis Hoenselaar. She wins without losing a leg 5-0 against Rose-Marie Bussard from Switzerland.

The two eternal rivals Gulliver and Hoenselaar make it an exciting semi-final. This time it is the Dutch lady who wins the eleventh and deciding leg and advances to the final. Lisa Ashton cannot bring England to the final either. Julie Gore is too strong 6-4.

Francis Hoenselaar already won the singles title in 1996 and 2004 and also won two silver medals in 1994 and 2002. Julie Gore has already won two silver medals in the women's singles at a WDF World Cup, but she won never before reached the final at a WDF Europe Cup. In 2010 she does, but it will be silver again for The Ice Cube. Maybe the knowledge that Wales already had the overall gold after the victory in the pairs lost her that bit of the sharpness that she needed in this final. Francis Hoenselaar wins 7-5 and is the first lady to win the WDF Europe Cup singles three times and also does this in three different decades.
