The Ireland Women darts team have retained their WDF World Cup title with a comfortable victory over Australia in Seoul.

Robyn Byrne, Katie Sheldon, Denise Cassidy and Aoife McCormack proved a class above their opponents at the Kintex Hall to claim Ireland's second gold medal of the tournament.

All four players won games in their 9-1 win with captain Byrne hitting a maximum and taking out double 12 in the last leg to seal the victory.

"Wow, absolutely over the moon, amazing achievement," Sheldon posted on social media.

Earlier in the week, Ireland topped a group containing New Zealand, Turkey and Lithuania before beating Wales, Netherlands and Philippines in the knockouts.

Yesterday, the Ireland team of Aidan O'Hara and Jack Courtney took home the top prize in the Youths Pairs.

O'Hara also claimed a silver medal in the Youth Singles on Saturday morning, losing out in the final to Canada's Peyton Hammond.
