A Look Back at Wales’ 2020 Victory
Before we look ahead, let’s take a moment to remember the magic of 2020. The Welsh duo of Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton took the darting world by storm, defeating the English team in a thrilling final. It was a victory that marked Wales’ first World Cup of Darts title, and it was a moment that will forever be etched in the annals of darting history.
The Road to 2024: Wales’ Journey
Since their 2020 victory, the Welsh team has been on a rollercoaster ride. They’ve had their ups and downs, but their determination and skill have never wavered. Gerwyn Price, known as ‘The Iceman’, has continued to impress with his cool under pressure, while Jonny Clayton, ‘The Ferret’, has proven time and again that he can dig deep when it matters most. Their journey to the 2024 World Cup has been one of grit, determination, and a whole lot of bullseyes.
The Competition: Who’s Throwing for the Title?
While Wales is certainly a strong contender, they’re not the only team with their eyes on the prize. The English team, still smarting from their 2020 defeat, are eager to reclaim the title. The Dutch, with their rich darting history, are always a threat. And let’s not forget the Scots, who have been steadily climbing the ranks in recent years. The competition is fierce, and it’s anyone’s game.
Trivia Time: Fun Facts about the World Cup of Darts
Did you know that the World Cup of Darts was first held in 2010? Or that the Netherlands and England are tied for the most titles, with four each?

Can Wales Repeat?
So, can Wales do it again? It’s certainly possible. They’ve got the skill, the determination, and the experience. But as any dart enthusiast knows, the game is as much about mental strength as it is about physical skill. It’s about holding your nerve, keeping your cool, and hitting your mark when it matters most. And if anyone can do that, it’s ‘The Iceman’ and ‘The Ferret’.
The Countdown Begins
As the countdown to the World Cup of Darts 2024 begins, the excitement is building. Will Wales repeat their 2020 success? Or will a new champion emerge? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a tournament to remember. So, grab your darts, pull up a chair, and get ready for the ride. It’s going to be a bullseye of a time!
