WDF World Cup Women Pairs 2019

The 22nd edition of the WDF World Cup was held in Cluj-Napoca in Romania. The Grand Hotel Italia is the venue from 7 to 12 October. All participant numbers records are broken. No less than 52 teams in the men’s competition, 46 ladies’ teams and 19 countries also sent their youth to Romania.

It will be a WDF World Cup without any incident which runs like clockwork and that is an incredible compliment to the organizing country that is itself relatively very small as a darts nation. No fewer than six new countries make their debut in Romania. Croatia, Egypt, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine are included for the first time.

With world champion Mikuru Suzuki in their midst, Japan knows how to score well at this WDF World Cup, also in the ladies pairs in which they claim the gold. With Mayumi Ouchi by her side, she manages to beat Switzerland and Sweden, among others. Until the quarterfinals, the Japanese duo don't give up a leg. In the quarterfinals they win 4-2 against the Canadian duo Dianne Gobeil & Darlene van Sleeuwen. The biggest test a awaits in the semi-final gainst Tori Kewish & Barb Smyth from Australia. The victory comes eventually in a ninth and deciding leg.

Opponents in the final are the surprising Czech duo Jitka Cisarova & Alena Gregurkova. The Czech ladies beat a number of great pairs on their way to the final, including the Dutch duo Anca Zijlstra and Marjolein Noijens. In the quarterfinals they beat Danna Foster & Karrah Boutilier from Canada, but their best victory comes in the semi-finals against the English tandem of Lorraine Winstanley and Fallon Sherrock. The English ladies are brushed aside 5-0 without a chance.

Unfortunately, the Czech ladies cannot conjure up the good game of the semi-final in the final. Japan is way too strong and wins 6-1. History however is written for the Czech Republic because this country had never won a medal at a WDF World Cup before.
