Ilagan to partner Nebrida for Team Philippines at World Cup of Darts

Another team has been confirmed for the 2021 World Cup of Darts which is set to take place in Jena in September with Lourence Ilagan set to partner Paolo Nebrida for Team Philippines.
Ilagan and Nebrida took part in a qualifier on Saturday which saw the finalists make the team. 'The Gunner' saw off Ian Perez 2-1 in sets 1-3, 3-2, 3-1 to automatically qualify.
While for Nebrida, it was a lot more of a simpler equation with a 3-1, 3-1 success winning 2-0 in sets. A familiar name on the PDC Asian Tour, he will get his first taste of PDC stage action.
It will be the fifth time, Ilagan has played in the tournament back to 2012 when he partnered Cristian Perez, they were due to play again together in 2013 but withdrew before he partnered GIlbert Ulang in 2015.
The team returned after Alex Tagarao played with Ulang in 2016 to play in 2019 and 2020 with the rise of both Ilagan and Noel Malicdem with performances at the World Championship and both years despite being touted as dangerous, they have lost to England in the first round.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
