"I'll be playing on the Modus Super Series. I'll be doing some of the Seniors Tour events that that go on. You might even see me somewhere else, but I can't say where at the moment," he says cryptically. Although he does know where he won't be playing. "It won't be in the WDF no."

2 more years and he could be playing at 70.

Dutch darts player won Challenger Tour event in Hildesheim last week and followed it up with victory at PDC Women’s Series in Wigan

Noa-Lynn van Leuven has become the first transgender darts player to win both a PDC Women’s Series event and Challenger Tour title against men.

Van Leuven, from the Netherlands, defeated a string of male PDC event winners last week to take the £2,500 challenger event in Germany before playing in a women’s event in Wigan on Saturday, where she beat both Fallon Sherrock and the world No 1 Beau Greaves.

Sherrock had earlier won the first event of the day, which included Van Leuven, but was then beaten 5-3 in the semi-final of the second event by Van Leuven, who recorded an average in excess of 100 before also beating Ireland’s Katie Sheldon in the final.

VICTORY FOR VAN LEUVEN!

Her victory prompted condemnation of darts’ transgender policy by Martina Navratilova, the nine times Wimbledon champion, who said that all sports “even in darts” should allow only natal females to compete.

The PDC follows the guidelines set out by the Darts Regulation Authority which, in turn, has followed guidance from the International Olympic Committee. The IOC’s 10 principles include “no presumption of advantage” and “inclusion”. They have advised sports to individually consider “disproportionate advantage, which needs therefore to be mitigated”. This policy, however, was challenged this week by a group of 26 academics who said “that the inclusion of transgender women in female sports categories cannot be reconciled with fairness”. The darts policy requires that transgender players must have a testosterone level below 10 nmo/L for at least 12 months and says that a gender identity cannot be changed for a minimum of four years.

Littler was on Comic Relief on the BBC the other week. Here he is pictured with David Tennant... surreal. He stole Jodie's Tardis the vile cunt.

The source of this poll was 'AceOdds' apparently. I barely bothered looking for it but it was picked up by a couple of places, including here:

It's doesn't look very TDF friendly whatever it is.

[Randall]

I hardly think so

[Potter's Lake]

"That is based on the percentage of positive online reactions to each thrower and therefore who is least likely to be booed."

So it's players nobody can be arsed to moan about. Explains a few at the top.

[Ross, Bob]

I hardly think.

That explains the typos then, mate.

[The Thorn]

I hardly think.

That explains the typos then, mate.

Stop bullying

Should I apologise to Randall?

I found the translation enjoyable in places.


Wattimena defeats Roelofs in final 501 tournament Sportcafé de Vrijboom in Beuningen
https://www.dartfreakz.nl/regiodarts/wa ... -beuningen

It was packed this Monday 25 March in sports café de Vrijboom with 8 beautiful groups. People even had to be disappointed! 3 ladies participated this evening. Unfortunately for the ladies, the level was so high that there was little honor to be gained this evening. Larissa Smits managed to throw a nice 180.

The final of the winner's round was between Jermaine Wattimena and Owen Roelofs. Owen had already shown a lot of beauty this evening, but in the final he came up just short against the violence of Jermaine, who won 5-2 this evening. The deciding leg was Jermaine on 24 after 9 arrows!
