WDF Europe Cup Women Singles 2018

From 26 to 29 September, the 21st edition of the WDF European Cup was held in the capital of Hungary, Budapest. In the men’s competition 38 different countries came to the oche, which is an absolute record for the WDF Europe Cup. Four countries left their ladies at home, but with 34 countries this edition is also a record breaker for the ladies. In the MOM Sports Centre an exciting tournament was played with some surprising winners. Ukraine is there for the first time, making it the 41st country to ever participate in a WDF Europe Cup.

In the women's singles, a surprising foursome remains in the semi-finals. None of the English ladies reach the last four and that is a surprise. The reigning champion Sharon Prins also does not make it to the semi’s nor do the ladies from Wales or Scotland. In the semi-finals it is the Irish Robyn Byrne who plays against Femke Herms from the Netherlands. The Dutch lady gets multiple matchdarts but does not hit the double. Byrne does and therefore she qualifies for the final. In the other semi-final, two ladies face each other who have defeated an English lady in the quarterfinals. Lorraine Winstanley is defeated by Norwegian Rachna David and Fallon Sherrock loses to Fiona Gaylor from Switzerland. In the semi-final Gaylor then is the better player. She beats Rachna David 6-3.

Switzerland and the Irish Republic had never had a player in the final of the WDF Europe Cup singles in the ladies before. History would therefore be written anyway. It becomes Swiss history. Robyn Byrne never settles in the final and very quickly falls behind. Fiona Gaylor wins the final 7-4 to claim her first ever international title.
