WDF World Cup Men Teams 1999

In 1999, for the first time in history, a WDF cup is held in Africa. Durban is the host for the twelfth Cup. 32 countries participate in the tournament, of which 30 also have taken a ladies team. For the first time in 1999 there is also a WDF World Cup the young people. Nine teams take a boy and a girl to South Africa. All of them will compete in the Durban Exhibition Centre for the three major Cups from 6 to 9 October.

Four youth titles are up for grabs. Singles with the girls and boys, mixed pairs and of course the overall WDF World Cup. Botswana, Namibia, and the Seychelles are participating for the first time at a WDF World Cup, which is more global than ever before.

In the quarterfinals of the team tournament, Bjarne Jensen, Brian Buur-Sorensen, Stig Jorgensen & Anders Pedersen from Denmark win 9-5 against the surprising foursome Wayne Copeland, Steve Harris, Barry Payne, Earl Smith from the Bahamas. Raymond van Barneveld, Co Stompe, Frans Harmsen & Bert Vlaardingerbroek from the Netherlands also win, with 9-6 against the Finns Marko Kantele, Jarkko Komula, Marko Pusa & Jari Nissinen. They are joined by Wales and England in the semi-finals, although that is not without a struggle. Both countries need a seventeenth and deciding leg. The English quartet beats Paul Lim, Steve Brown, Dieter Schutsch & David Marienthal from the USA. Wales, in turn, beats Jamie Harvey, Peter Johnstone, Bob Taylor & Alan Brown from Scotland.

In the semi-finals, Wales then easily beats Denmark 9-1. England has a bit more trouble with the Netherlands, but still wins reasonably comfortable with 9-6 from the Netherlands.

It is the fifth consecutive time that Wales and England will face each other in the final of the team event. On behalf of Wales, Eric Burden, Ritchie Davies, Martin Phillips & Richard Herbert will compete against the English quartet of Mervyn King, Ronnie Baxter, Martin Adams & Andy Fordham. The 1999 WDF World Cup finale could not have been more exciting in the men’s. Not only the team gold, but also the overall title is at stake. In the end England proves to be the strongest. They win the final 9-7 to win the team event and the overall Cup.

It is the eighth time that England has won the team title with the men.
