William O’Connor has reflected after Ireland’s brilliant run to the final of the World Cup Of Darts where him and Steve Lennon lost out to Scotland.
O’Connor said that before hand, he would have snapped your hand off to get that far. But now he admits that they need to dream bigger and that they will be back next year to try and go one further.
"If you'd told me we would be in the World Cup Final before the tournament I would've taken it all day long," said O'Connor. "But I've come to realise you have to start dreaming, and if the dream doesn't scare you then you're not dreaming big enough.
"So I knew we could do it and it's a pity we didn't go that one step further but I'm over the moon. "I'm proud to represent Ireland and I was proud to lead Ireland with Steve into the World Cup Final. We'll be back next year to give it another go.

- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
