WDF World Cup Women 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 first time in history not only a team event is played in the men's tournament, but now also in the ladies. The English foursome Deta Hedman, Lisa Ashton, Fallon Sherrock & Claire Brookin is the odds-on favourite and more than lives up to that role. No team comes close to beating them. In both group matches it is 9-0, Scotland takes five legs from the English ladies in the last 16, the American ladies one leg less in the quarterfinals. In the semi-finals, the surprising Irish ladies await, but Catherine Flemming, Robyn Byrne, Caroline Breen & Veronica Skeffington also reach no more than five legs.

In the other semi-final the Swedish ladies Paulina Soderstrom, Anna Forsmark, Linda Nilsson & Snezana Veljovic face the strong German team of Steffi Luck, Irina Armstrong, Anne Willkomm & Steffi Rennoch-Zwitkowitsch. The German machine easily defeats the Swedes 9-1 and can therefore compete against England in the final. In the final, the German ladies also are no match for the English, it finishes 9-5 for England that takes a clean sweep at this WDF World Cup. In addition to the singles and the pairs, Lisa Ashton now also wins the team tournament and the overall title. She becomes the first ever woman to win four gold medals in one WDF World Cup. A feat only two men have previously ever accomplished. Eric Bristow-MBE in 1983 and 1987 and Martin Adams in 1995.
