Fiji Netball sackings overuled by Sport and Olympic Committee

9:27 am on 5 June 2007

The Fiji Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee (FASANOC) has rejected a Netball Fiji Council decision made last month to dump Fijian team manager Asenaca Waqanivavalagi and replace her with Tupou Lemeki.

FASANOC President Vidya Lakhan says appointing a manager or coach is up to the Executive Committee who are required to call for nominations.

Lakhan says FASANOC cannot approve the changes because FNA did not comply with the requirements of its own Constitution.

Fiji Netball now has until the end of the month to comply with its constitution if it still wishes to change team officials.
