A parent of one of the girls in the St George's School netball team has laid an official complaint to Netball New Zealand after a mishap meant the team missed the final.
The team won every game in the regular season and then took out the semifinal against Rutherford School but an administration error led to them being placed in the playoff for third and not the final.
Gerald Pearce, the father of one of the players, has sent an official complaint to Netball New Zealand - the sport's national body.
"I have laid an official complaint with Netball New Zealand by email this morning," Pearce said.
"I waited for the story to break first and sent that along with my complaint asking for the incident to be investigated and something done about it.
