The Suncorp Super Netball League has confirmed matches will not be played this weekend, with the fixture to resume mid next week.
This week six clubs, including the NSW Swifts, relocated to Queensland to join the Sunshine Coast Lightning and the Queensland Firebirds to play out the season.
Swifts head coach Briony Akle remains in isolation in South Australia until early next week having been identified as a close contact of patrons who attended a Tier 1 exposure zone in Melbourne.
Both the club and Netball Australia are working through how Akle can rejoin the team in Queensland once her isolation period has ended.
Super Netball is also working through fixturing for the remaining three rounds of the home and away season and will provide an update as soon as possible.
The Swifts have three regular-season games left to play against the Sunshine Coast Lightning, Adelaide Thunderbirds and Collingwood Magpies. The six-time Premiers currently sit second on the competition ladder, just behind local rivals Giants Netball on goal percentage and well in the hunt for a top-two finish ahead of the Finals Series.
Netball Australia CEO Kelly Ryan said the last-minute relocation to Queensland had presented significant challenges regarding the fixture.
“The teams have experienced a highly disrupted week, having relocated to Queensland at very short notice,” Ryan said.
“We have a number of challenges to work through with our stakeholders, including venues and broadcast, before we can lock in the fixture for the remaining three rounds.
“We are committed to delivering a full 60-game season of Suncorp Super Netball without extending the length of the competition.”
