WDF World Cup Men Pairs 1979

For the second WDF World Cup the teams had to travel to the gambling capital of the world Las Vegas, USA. The tournament was played at the Sahara Hotel on November 2 and 3. Sixteen countries took part in the WDF World Cup, which was a great success since the teams had to make this long trip. England, represented by John Lowe, Eric Bristow, Tony Brown and Bill Lennard were the big favourites for the tournament, and some 400 supporters had come with them.

Hong Kong, Jamaica and Northern Ireland make their debut at this second WDF World Cup.

In the pairs event we saw the top two nations in darts; Wales and England lead the show with both their pairs reaching the semi-finals. The winners of the first WDF World Cup in pairs, John Lowe & Eric Bristow won fairly easily against the pair from Wales; David "Rocky" Jones & Allan Thomas. In the second semi-final Tony Brown and Bill Lennard had it a lot harder against Leighton Rees & Ceri Morgan. Still they won 4-2.

In the all-England final, which looked a bit like an exhibition match, John Lowe & Eric Bristow would win easily with a 4-1 score line and defend their WDF World Cup title successfully.
