The Netball Australia Board has this morning reaffirmed Netball Australia's commitment to the safety and well-being of athletes and staff and the delivery of a full, 60 game season of Suncorp Super Netball.
Consistent with these priorities, the Board has agreed with the recommendation of management that Netball Australia, the West Coast Fever and Melbourne Vixens work to ensure that their cancelled match, which was due to be played tomorrow, is rescheduled.
Discussions with all relevant parties will now begin with the aim of having the game played as soon as is safe and practical.
The Board acknowledged the disruption of the past 24 hours but said decisions about the competition would always be taken with the interest of netball's fans, players, clubs, broadcast and commercial partners in mind.
The Board has also confirmed that an investigation into events that occurred in the lead-up to the cancellation of Sunday's game had now been launched.
Netball Australia will not publicly discuss the details of these events until the investigation and subsequent report is completed.
The Board thanked fans for their patience and understanding of the complexity of delivering an elite national sport during a global pandemic.
