Ireland have retained their women’s WDF World Cup darts title in seeing off Australia in Saturday final in Seoul, South Korea.

Captain Robyn Byrne from Dublin, Donegal’s Denise Cassidy and Kilkenny’s Aoife McCormack followed Sheldon’s example, each winning at least two games apiece to blow the Aussies away.

“To put in a performance like that in a final is super but they have been brilliant all the way through the competition.”
The result also sees Ireland take gold as the overall best ranked women’s team, taking the top spot over Japan in second and England in third.
