KEY POINTS:
Transtasman netball competition general manager Tony Holding has quit.
Holding, who was appointed ANZ Championship general manager in May 2007, believes the timing is right for a new manager to take the competition to another level.
"I was appointed to establish the competition and have thoroughly enjoyed this initial phase of developing a strong platform for growth and success on both sides of the Tasman.
"The growth opportunities are endless and I look forward to watching the ANZ Championship develop into a premier female international sports competition and popular spectator sport," Holding said in a statement today.
ANZ Championship chairwoman Noeleen Dix said the recruitment process for a new general manager was already under way.
Netball NZ chief executive Raelene Castle and Netball Australia chief executive Kate Palmer will be overseeing day-to-day running of the 2009 championship for their respective countries.
