Robyn Byrne defeats Noa-Lynn van Leuven to take title at WDF Europe Cup

Robyn Byrne took the European title in the singles tournament at the WDF Europe Cup 2024 in Slovakia. The Irish player won in the final over Noa-Lynn van Leuven to capture the title.

Van Leuven had conceded just one leg en route to the final. She started the tournament with wins over Ariana Porroche (4-0), Greta Tekauer (4-0), Anna Votavova (4-0) and Rhian O'Sullivan to reach the quarterfinals. That was followed by victories over Lorraine Hyde (5-1) and Michelle Merlit (6-0) for a spot in the European Cup finals. Byrne dealt successively with Susanna McGimpsey (4-0), Sara Foconetti (4-0), Nikki Bardsley (4-1), Samantha Kirton (4-1), Marina Letica (5-2) and Katie Sheldon (6-3).

In the final, Byrne had a sublime start. Thanks to a 15-darter and two 14-darters, the 27-year-old Irish darter won the first five legs of the match. Van Lueven then managed to reduce the deficit to 6-4, but still had to concede in the eleventh leg.
