Noa-Lynn van Leuven has revealed that her recent ban from the Women’s Series in darts has triggered painful childhood memories, though she remains resolute, declaring she is "not done" with the sport.

The history-making player is now ineligible to compete following rule changes implemented by the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) last month, which prohibit transgender women from participating in women’s events.
