WDF Europe Cup Women Teams 2016

From 20 to 24 September, the twentieth edition of the WDF Europe Cup was held in the Dutch seaside town of Egmond aan Zee. In the men’s event 32 different countries toe the oche, which is a new record for the WDF Europe Cup. Six countries leave their ladies at home, but this still means a very strong field of 26 countries in the ladies. In hotel Zuiderduin, for years the setting for the Zuiderduin/Finder Masters the NDB and WDF put together a fantastic tournament, which runs very smoothly.

From the 2015 WDF World Cup Nick Rolls joined the WDF team as one of the officials on stage alongside “Little” Richard Ashdown and Jacques Nieuwlaat, so 2016 is his first WDF Europe Cup. The Dutch Darts Association NDB is hosting this tournament for the third time, they also organized the WDF Europe Cup in The Hague in 1984 and Veldhoven in 2000. Welshman Martin Phillips participates for the thirteenth and last time in this event and is the record holder. Malta is returning to the WDF Europe Cup family for their first Cup since 2000. There are no debutants this year.

Just like two years earlier, the English ladies are again the the overwhelming favourites in 2016 and more than live up to this role. With four players from the world’s top 10, they give no opponent more than four legs. In the semi-finals the quartet Trina Gulliver, Deta Hedman, Lorraine Winstanley & Fallon Sherrock defeats Germany with Steffi Luck, Anne Willkomm, Steffi Zwitkowitsch & Silke Lowe 9-4. The other semi-final is a lot closer. Rhian Edwards, Rhian Griffiths, Katie Bellerby & Ann-Marie Potts from Wales keep pace with Dutch quartet Sharon Prins, Aileen de Graaf, Anca Zijlstra & Anneke Kuijten. At 8-8 the seventeenth leg has to make the difference and it is won by the Netherlands.

In the final, the Dutch team takes three legs. And so the team title remains in England, this time for Trina Gulliver, Deta Hedman, Lorraine Winstanley & Fallon Sherrock.
