Darts team 'ejected from league over one-legged transsexual player'

A ladies darts team claim they were kicked out of a league because one of their players used to be a man.

Melanie Partlow joined the side two years ago after a sex operation transformed her from a married forklift truck driver called Mick.

One-legged Melanie, 57, a double top specialist, became a star and helped win several cups.



But now Colliers B ladies have been axed from the Cheslyn Hay women’s league near Cannock, Staffs.

Officials say it is because team members have used foul and abusive language during matches.

But the players believe it is because opponents have complained about Melanie.
