Wright misses third final win at World Cup of Darts: "Maybe old age caught up with us"

Despite a brilliant run to the final, the 2023 World Cup of Darts ended in heartbreak for Peter Wright, Gary Anderson and Scotland, being comfortably defeated 10-2.
"The Welsh were the favourites for the tournament and they played fantastic in the final," recaps Wright, who was playing his fifth World Cup of Darts final. "It's been a really good tournament with Pairs all the way through."
Four of those finals have been alongside Gary Anderson, and for Wright the reuniting of the pair at this year's event was a key part of why they were so successful, including a thrilling semi-final win over the home crowd favourites, Germany.
"It's amazing playing with Gary," Snakebite adds. "Maybe old age caught up with us."
WALES ARE WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS! 🏴🏆

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
