WDF Europe Cup Men Overall 1998

From 6 to 9 August 1998, 26 countries played in Oslo in Norway during the eleventh edition of the WDF Europe Cup darts. The big question was of course whether the England men, this time with Martin Adams, Andy Fordham, Ronnie Baxter and Steve Beaton, would take home the overall title for the eleventh consecutive time. The England ladies Mandy Solomons and Trina Gulliver could win the overall Cup for the seventh time in the last eight editions. For the first time in the history of the WDF Europe Cup, two brothers play in one cup; Brian and John Elder from Ballymena play for Northern Ireland. The Faroe Islands and Iceland make their debut at a WDF Europe Cup here in Norway.

The overall title is after an incredibly exciting fight for the foursome Ritchie Davies, Marshall James, Sean Palfrey & Martin Phillips from Wales with 116 points. It is the first time in the history of the WDF Europe Cup that the overall title does not go home with England. This time they have to settle for the silver with 109 points. Scotland takes the bronze with 82 points. The teams from the low countries are doing well. The Netherlands finished fourth with 77 points and Belgium fifth with 64 points.
