WDF World Cup Men Overall 1983

The English dominate WDF World Cup IV, which was held in Edinburgh on 21 and 22 October. At the WDF General meeting, Peter McMenamin of Australia is elected as the new chairman to replace Bill Turner of New Zealand. For the first time there is also a separate WDF World Cup for women.

The ladies play with two per country. In addition to the Overall WDF World Cup, they also compete for medals in the singles and pairs. 21 countries compete in Scotland, including the debutants Norway and Germany. For the ladies, 19 countries participate in their first WDF World Cup

It was noteworthy that members from the English and Scottish teams were present in all three finals. The Scots, encouraged by some 5.000 supporters, were unable to win any from the English. Eric Bristow, Keith Deller, John Lowe & Dave Whitcombe therefore clearly won the overall WDF World Cup title with 188 points ahead of Scotland with 92 points. Wales took the bronze with 55 points and the USA came in fourth with 37 points. Australia and Sweden finish in joint 5th place with 29 points.
