WDF World Cup Men Singles 2011

Castlebar in Ireland is the beautiful location for the eighteenth edition of the WDF World Cup. The world-famous Irish cordiality prevails and 38 countries make it a fascinating spectacle. 35 Women's team and 15 youth teams complete the line-up. The Breaffy House Resort, County Mayo, is the home of darts from September 20-24.

History is being written in Castlebar because England is the first country ever to win all three overall titles in one year. In addition, Catalonia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania get their first introduction to the unsurpassed WDF World Cup feeling.

Twelve different nationalities in the last sixteen of the singles, but in the final it’s “business as usual” with two players from England left standing. Martin Adams and Scott Waites. For Adams it is his third final at a WDF World Cup, for Waites his first. Defending champion Tony O'Shea has very surprisingly lost in his first match against Anthony Forde from Barbados.

On his way to the final, Wolfie successively beats the Scot Ross Montgomery, Stig Jorgensen from Denmark, Northern Irishman Gary Elliot, Rowby-John Rodriguez from Austria, Daniel Larsson from Sweden and in the semi-finals Jamie Lewis from Wales. Waites, in turn, fights past Iranian Hossein Arabi, Petri Korte from Finland, Latvian Guntars Grebskis, Dennis Nilsson from Sweden, Welshman Martin Phillips and his fellow countryman Wayne Warren in the semi-finals.

In the final, Waites turns out to be too good for Adams this time. A comfortable 7-3 victory ensures that Waites gets a gold medal at a WDF World Cup for the first time in his career. It is the tenth time that an Englishman has claimed the gold.
