WDF World Cup Men Teams 2015

After organizing two Europe Cups, Turkey is ready for the big one; a WDF World Cup. The organization of the twentieth WDF World Cup is fantastic and almost everyone is happy with the all-inclusive principle of the playing location. In the men's tournament, 36 countries compete for the Cup, 29 countries bring a women's team and a record number of 16 youth teams find their way to the Turkish resort in Kemer. The Limra Hotel & Resort is the hotel and playing venue from 26 to 31 October.

For the first time there are four ladies per team, until 2015 there were always two. This means that an extra day of play is added to the schedule. From now on, the teams will play over five days and the opening ceremony is the day before. Nick Rolls joins the team of officials in 2015. Together with Richard Ashdown and Jacques Nieuwlaat they oversee the floor matches and the stage program. Bulgaria is there for the first time since 1995 and Serbia is the last newcomer to the WDF World Cup stage.

For the twelfth time in history, England is the strongest team at the WDF World Cup. Glen Durrant, Scott Mitchell, Jamie Hughes & Mark McGeeney give away only five legs in the group stage in a group that also includes (sub) top countries such as the Netherlands, Switzerland and South Africa.

In the last sixteen, Russia is put aside 9-3. In the quarterfinals Australia is actually also without a chance (9-2). The Northern Irish come closest to the English in the semi-finals. Neil Duff, Darren Clifford, David Glenn & Rodney Greer take five legs,

In the other semi-final, The Finns Marko Kantele, Kim Viljanen, Asko Niskala & Uki Takkinen play against the Irish quartet Sean McGowan, Brendan Grace, David Concannon & David O'Connor. The Finns had a strong series with victories over Belgium and Wales, among others. The Irish had also defeated a few strong opponents, including the USA and Scotland. The Irish win the semi-final 9-6 and set a unique performance. They had never been in the final before. The previous three semi-finals were lost.

After the Irish had finished celebrating, the final still had to be played a few days later. As is often the case, a team that has come out of an underdog position on that last day can no longer find the magic of a few days before. Sean McGowan, Brendan Grace, David Concannon & David O'Connor also cannot find it. The English foursome Glen Durrant, Scott Mitchell, Jamie Hughes & Mark McGeeney wins the title with a 9-4 score.
