WDF World Cup Men Pairs 1995

With a record number of entries of 40 men's teams the tenth WDF World Cup started in the Swiss city of Basel. With this fantastic number of entrees WDF Chairman Peter McMenamin and SDA President Felix Degen could already speak of a great success before the first dart was thrown. Not only the quantity was present also the quality continued to rise. Apparently, there are no "weak countries" anymore in the darts world.

The ladies also had a record number of entries with 35 countries in their seventh WDF World Cup from 4 to 7 October at the Messe Hall in the Swiss city of Basel. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Isle of Man and Latvia make their debut in Switzerland.

Until 1989 it had always been the English duos who dominated the pairs tournament. The last two editions, however, there was no more medal won by England in this event. They rectified this in 1995. Both English duos make it to the final.

Steve Beaton & Ronnie Baxter won their semi-final 4-1 against the Australian pair Russell Stewart & Wayne Weening. The Aussies went up 1-0 in 18 darts, but then had to surrender the remaining legs to the English in 13, 18, 17 and 15 darts. Martin Adams & Andy Fordham also won 4-1 against Eric Burden & Martin Phillips from Wales.

The all-England final was won 4-1 by Martin Adams & Andy Fordham who take the WDF World Cup pairs title to England for the eighth time. Eric Britow & John Lowe won it six times and in 1981 they were defeated in the final by fellow countrymen Tony Brown & Cliff Lazarenko.
