Humphries & Smith reflect on ‘special’ World Cup of Darts triumph
Luke Humphries and Michael Smith insist their BetVictor World Cup of Darts triumph ranks among their greatest achievements, after the pair celebrated success in Frankfurt on Sunday.
Humphries and Smith steered England to a record-breaking fifth World Cup crown on a famous night at the Eissporthalle, defeating Austria 10-6 in a high-quality final.
The pair produced a ton-topping average to deny Rowby-John Rodriguez and Mensur Suljovic in Sunday’s showpiece, joining four-time winners Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis on the roll of honour for Team England.
“It’s hard to put it into words,” admitted Smith, who was making his fifth World Cup of Darts appearance.
“We just complemented each other so well, and to finally get my hands on that trophy, it’s amazing.
“It is not just Phil and Aidy, it’s now Luke and Michael, and hopefully we get to come back and defend it [the title] next year.”
