WDF World Cup Men Teams 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.

In the team event Wales made it to the semi-finals, they defeated Belgium in the quarterfinals 9-6. The surprising Danes reached the last four after they eliminated the Scots. The semi-finals were completed by Australia beating Germany and "of course" the favourites from England who beat New Zealand comfortably.

In the first semi-final between Martin Phillips, Eric Burden, Sean Palfrey & Richie Burnett from Wales and Per Skau Frede Johansen, Stig Jorgensen & Torben Christensen from Denmark the Welsh encountered little resistance from the Scandinavians and won 9-3. Martin Adams, Andy Fordham, Ronnie Baxter & Steve Beaton from England also eased into the final. They beat the Australians Russell Stewart, Wayne Weening, Graham Hunt & Darren Webster 9-1. Russell Stewart was the only Australian who took a leg, against Andy Fordham.

The final was matched evenly until 2-2, but then the English take a sprint and run away. They win six legs in a row and take an 8-2 lead. For a while, Wales was able to postpone the defeat by Palfrey's win over Beaton and Burden over Baxter. But then Beaton took the ninth point against Burnett in 18 darts. The team event was a prey for Martin Adams, Andy Fordham, Ronnie Baxter & Steve Beaton and England. Now for the third time in a row and the seventh time in total they win the team event.
