WDF World Cup Women Singles 2007

It was sixteen years ago that the WDF World Cup was held in the Netherlands in 1991. Then Zandvoort was the place, this time Rosmalen was chosen as the host city. The darts landscape in the Netherlands, however, had changed completely in the past years after five world titles by Raymond van Barneveld. Unfortunately for the Dutch fans, Barney switched to the PDC a year earlier and was not as a player at this cup. However, there is a lot of media attention and the semi-finals and finals are broadcast live on TV.

A record number of 41 men's teams, 38 women's teams and 15 youth teams find their way to the Netherlands where the Autotron hosts the tournament from 11 to 14 October. Iceland, Iran, Trinidad & Tobago and Turkey make their debut at a WDF World Cup. It will be a successful edition for the organizing country, with enough drama at the end.

For the fourth time in history, two ladies from the same country will face each other in the final of the WDF World Cup singles. The ladies from Wales dominate the singles tournament. Jan Robbins and Julie Gore must decide in the final who will be the first WDF World Cup women's singles champion from Wales. Only in 1983 was there previously a lady from Wales in the final. Then Sandra Gibb-Lee lost to the American Sandy Reitan.

In the end it was Jan Robbins who was too strong for her compatriot in the final 4-2. Bronze goes to Japan in 2007 for Yukari Nishikawa, who succeeds her compatriot Ouchi as second medallist for Japan in the singles. Frances Lawson is the third player from Scotland to come home with a bronze medal in this event.

The other three times that a final went between two compatriots:
1993 USA Maloney vs Bromberg
2001 NED Hoenselaar vs de Boer
2005 ENG Bywaters vs Gulliver
