Marina Go has stepped down as chair of Netball Australia, with the cash-strapped organisation insisting her departure has nothing to do with the sponsorship saga that has engulfed the sport.
The Diamonds have closed ranks after a week of on-court defeats and off-court controversy, heading home on the brink of losing a second straight Constellation Cup for the first time after back-to-back losses to New Zealand.
Netball Australia (NA) on Monday announced Wendy Archer would take over as chairperson with immediate effect, and that Go's move was a "planned transition" that was months in the making.
