Leeds Rhinos’ request to overturn their controversial defeat by Birmingham Panthers has been rejected by the Netball Super League (NSL).

Panthers won 71-69 after extra time at Worcester Arena, but Rhinos say they should have won in regulation time because a shot they believed was worth two points was only credited as one.

Replays appeared to back up Rhinos’ claims, but there is no video technology available to the match officials during games and the regulations do not allow the league to amend the outcome of a match.

The NSL held a review into the incident following a Rhinos appeal, but concluded there was nothing they could do.

“The NSL regulations do not permit the competition committee to change or amend the outcome of a match following an umpire’s on court decision in respect of the World Netball Rules of Netball,” it said in a statement.

“So the decision made by the umpires is considered to be final. As a consequence, the result stands.”

The NSL says it is working with umpires and officials to try to ensure a similar incident does not happen again.
